The Mad One and the rest of the GPI Top 10 remained intact … in fact, none of the Top 13 moved anywhere this week. The only change inside the Top 25 was made between Jonathan Duhamel (GPI#14, +1) and David Peters (GPI#15, -1) who swap positions at 14 and 15.

SWIMMING UPSTREAM

Matt Salsberg GPIOur hats go off to Raul Paez Corral (GPI#224, +69) who’s this week’s top mover – thanks to his Top 10 finish at LAPT Panama – but we couldn’t overlook a pair of top notch pros who continue to gain ground this week, with the GPI Top 10 set in their sights:

WPT Borgata Poker Open runner-up Vanessa Selbst (GPI#31, +21) and Borgata Open prelim event winner Matt Salsberg (GPI#44, +15) have both made significant moves up the chain. Each player will have ample opportunity to continue their chase for #1 with big events coming in London, Enghien-les-Bains and Paris.
