Big name pros fall from grace this week on the 300 …
VIEW FROM THE TOP
Byron Kaverman (GPI#1, =) begins his third week ranked atop the GPI World Poker Rankings, extending his lead on former World #1 Jason Mercier (GPI#2, =) to 81 points.
For the first time in a while, the Top 10 remains intact this week – all members of the lead group are safe for another seven days.
Just two weeks after star pros Fabrice Soulier (GPI#322) and former World #2 Philipp Gruissem (GPI#376) dropped out of the GPI300, another bunch of top-notch pros are on their way down this week as Triple Crown winner Jake Cody (GPI#311), former EPT Grand Final winner Nicolas Chouity (GPI#354) and Marc-Andre Ladouceur (GPI#323) and Anatoly Filatov (GPI#421), who each represented their nations at the GPI World Cup last March, all find themselves on the outside looking in this week.
