›› A victory in a side event at the WPT European Championship in Berlin helped former World #2 Davidi Kitai (World #99, +96) move back into the Top 100 for the first time since October
›› Congratulations go out to Tomas Soderstrom (World #279), Canlin Chen (World #286) and Zachary Donovan (World #292) who all make their GPI300 debuts this week
