After spending some time ranked outside the Top 20 earlier this season, former World #1 Dan Smith (GPI#2, +1) is back in contention, returning the 4,000-point club following a 4th place finish in the Aria High Roller IX event presented over the weekend.
A runner-up finish in WSOP Event #2 – $,5000 No-Limit Holdem – Bryn Kenney (GPI#6, +3) is the biggest mover inside the Top 10, moving back up to #6. Kenney has been ranked inside the GPI Top 10 for 24 consecutive weeks.
