Byron Kaverman (GPI#1, =) is starting to get comfortable, now spending an 8th consecutive week ranked atop the GPI World Poker Rankings. Following a successful trip to Europe, Kaverman was back in action last week, securing a 39th place finish at the WPT bestbet Bounty Scramble in Jacksonville.
Steve O’Dwyer‘s (GPI#5, +13) name can be found inside the Top 10 for the third time this season. The former World #2 followed up a four-score performance at the EPT Malta Festival with a pair of results at the APPT Asia Championship of Poker in Macau, adding over 600 points to his GPI score with a 15th place finish in the Main Event followed by an appearance in the Super High Roller final.
