Global Poker Index: "ElkY" Reclaims Top Spot
Tags: bertrand grospellier, elky, global poker index, gpi, jason mercier.
Posted on 04 May 2012 by "T".

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier is back in first place on Global Poker Index thanks to his third-place finish in the €100,000 Super High Roller that was played during EPT Monte-Carlo.

Jason Mercier, who had the lead last week, has now dropped to second place. This is the first time since December last year that ElkY is back in the lead on GPI's list. However, it extremely tight among the top players, so we might see a change already next week.

What is Global Poker Index?
The Global Poker Index is a site that releases a list of the top 300 tournament players in the wold using a formula that takes a player's results over the past 6 half-year periods. Click here for more information about GPI.

These guys must be playing a lot together for sure. Elky wasn’t the only one from the list at EPT Monte-Carlo, Jason Mercier was also there, but what I mean is that, although there are lots of online places where they can play “alone” and make points to the GPI, most of the action they take in live events must be always finding one another. “Oh, here you are again, so, ready for one more game?” “Hi, you know how our job is: we got to be where the action is!”

the dude can play.

it's pretty special to be top of the tournament rankings, cash games are a whole different story, the consistency to get to final tables in different fields in different countries is amazing really.

totally agree with that. not an easy task to have so much success in tournies as varience is much greater than in cash games.
just goes to prove that poker is very much a game of skill. wish i was half as good as these guys or had half as much knowledge of poker as they do.

Totally true Bullet. I wish I was 1/2 as good as them as well. Who do you think will finish top? My money would be on Jason, I have been watching him quite a lot lately and he has pulled some great moves. I would love to play him, heads up and I wouldn't worry about going broke the experience would be worth it..............

GL to you all...............

yeah i would put my money on jason. i think he's a bit more consistent than elky. will be tough though its really tight at the top.

these players are the best poker players of the world concerning live tournaments and online, They have know how to make the final table. Well when will we reach such a high status in the poker world?

Interesting, I never heard of Global Index before.. Just watched the boxing match with Elky and Lex Veldhuis lol, it was a pretty good fight!

Congrats elky Smile I wish i would play high rollers
 Macubaas06/05/2012 19:06:15 GMT
I agree that all players on that top are great live tournament players but the top isn't accurate if you ask me...

The answer is pretty simple actually the best live mtt player is not in the top, i'm talking about Erik Seidel!
