Der Global Poker Index, eingeführt durch die Macher der Epic Poker League, wurde in dieser Woche erstmals aktualisiert. Elky führt die Rangliste nun an und auch für unsere deutschen Vertreter geht es nach oben.
Der Global Poker Index ist eine Rangliste der 300 besten Turnierspieler, die wöchentlich geupdated wird. Die Wertung unterscheidet sich ein wenig von der Ligawertung und enthält auch Spieler, die derzeit noch nicht für die EPL qualifiziert sind.
Der GPI konzentriert sich nur auf die aktuellsten Ergebnisse. Wobei sich der ‚aktuelle Zeitraum‘ auf drei Jahre erstreckt. Gewertet werden jeweils die drei besten Ergebnisse innerhalb von sechs Monaten, sodass insgesamt 18 Turniere Einfluss auf den GPI nehmen. Gewertet werden Turniere ab einem Buy-in von $1.500 und mindestens 21 Spielern.
Aus deutscher Sicht sind in den Top 300 folgende Spieler: Tobias Reinkemeier, Dominik Nitsche, Marvin Rettenmaier, Thorsten Schäfer, Andreas Krause, Dragan Galic, Giuseppe Pantaleo, Benny Spindler, Konstantin Bücherl, Tim Kahlmeyer, Alex Debus, Florian Langmann und Max Heinzelmann.
