Made his debut in the top ten of Scott Seiverthis week. His second place finish 2011 LA Poker Classic in the heads-up event fell out of his period 1 results. However, counts the period immediately after his 2 because he had only one other cash in that range. With that extra finishing now are calculated by the GPI, Seiver saw a solid profit this week.

Nine players, some of which had been on the GPI for, are new additions to the list of this week.

While there is no massive moves to the ranks of this week, belonged to Ivan Freitez-Rosalesthe largest. The 2011 EPT final champion does not have a recorded since then, but still the largest cashes have jumped this week. How is that? Previously with No cashes in his period 2 calculations, Rosales received a huge boost this week Freitez-with its 16th-place result in the 2011 Copenhagen EPT Main Event to period 2 of period 1. That still gives him three cashes in the period 1, while the system finally a number to figure out for the period to 2. Put it together and Freitez-Rosales is your great mover of the week.

Most of this week was his Andras Nemeth, see permanent decline. There were two reasons for his fall. Firstly, he has but three cashes since February. The first of the cashes dig no longer period to six months have elapsed since 1. The second reason is similar to the first, with a cash periods. His 41st place finish 2010 EPT Vilamoura Main Event in the now counts for his period 3 results and not period 2.

The Mike Sowersis a similar story for. His 36th-place finish in the 2011 LA Poker Classic Main Event in February does not count more to its period 1 results. In addition, his third-place score in the 2009 LA Poker Classic Main Event now under his period 6 results, rather than a period 5.

At his current position of the 43rd place will will "The Thrill" Diana 2011 WPT Legends of Poker with the results counting to the rankings next week, you can bet that increase. The 2011 EPT Barcelona Thursday wraps and will count towards the rankings also next week. Eugene Katchalov is on the final table and just maybe, he will to make a run to the top spot on the GPI are bound to finish.

On the other hand, Erik Seidelfrom his position may, no. 2. When the rankings are calculated next week, it will be six months since his victory over NBC heads-up Championshipthe. That result in period 2 will degenerate and will undoubtedly reduce his period 1 score. The same can be said Jonathan Duhamel and for Andrew Robl, the third and fourth place finishers in the NBC National heads-up Championship. How far will they all fall? We find out next week.
