June 6, 2018 GPI World Poker Rankings

THIS WEEK’S NOTES

›› A third place finish in the 3K Shootout event to start the WSOP sees Joseph McKeehen (World #6) return to a career-best #6 ranking this week

›› Benjamin Tollerene (World #23) makes this Top 25 debut following a strong showing in recent Aria High Roller events

›› With the WSOP kicking off last week, it should come to anyone’s surprise to see WSOP standouts Paul Volpe (World #109), Jason Mercier (World #220) and Ismael Bojang (World #248) returning to the GPI300

›› Congratulations go out to Danny Wong (World #187), Harry Lodge (World #256) and Nikolay Fal (World #280), who all make their debuts ranked inside the GPI300 this week

›› 2018 GPI PoY: It’s a good thing Stephen Chidwick yet again added points this week. The surging Justin Bonomo would have taken over the 2018 PoY race had that not happened. Bonomo has to settle for second … for now
