What’s In Store?
With the World Series of Poker Europe concluding on Thursday, next week’s GPI rankings will account for the results from the Main Event and the “50,000 Majestic High Roller. Most notably, Jason Mercier is set to regain the top spot on the GPI. Regardless of his finish in the WSOPE Main Event, Mercier will reclaim No. 1 GPI status.
Leading going into the Main Event final table is none other than Phil Hellmuth, currently No. 33 on the GPI. He’ll see a nice boost into the top 20, but the top 10 appears a bit out of reach.
