| 193rd | Martin Staszko | 1,262.76 | +48 |
On the other end of the spectrum, Antony Lellouche took the biggest hit this week. His win in the “5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the 2011 WPT Rendez-Vous à Paris aged into Period 2, leaving his Period 1 slate empty.

| 169th | William Thorson | 1,324.05 | -31 |
| 184th | David Benyamine | 1,284.95 | -33 |
| 241st | David Paredes | 1,136.50 | -33 |

What’s In Store?
The WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star is heading into Day 3 and Jonathan Duhamel (19th on the GPI) sits sixth in chips with 20 players remaining. With four, four-figure scores to his credit in his Period 1 results, there’s no guarantee his GPI will improve as a result. However, Dumahel has owned 2012 thus far so we wouldn’t bet against him.
To look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website. While you’re at it, follow the GPI on Twitter and its Facebook page.
