Ramin Hajiyev and Ole Schemion dominate the GPI POY ranking
The Global Poker Index Player of the Year (GPI POY) race has just rebooted with the freshly-completed PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2015 (PCA), a great poker event held in the Bahamas, in the Atlantis Resorts poker room to be precise. Not surprisingly, the drivers seat goes to Ramin Hajiyev. He has performed well at the PCA 2015. He has even final-tabled two different events while reaching ITM places in the LAPT Bahamas Main Event and the $ 25,000 buy-in High Roller as well. In all, Ramin Hajiyev reached four In The Money places at the 2015 PCA. Jonathan Karamalikis finds himself in second position of the POY race. He has also earned four cashes at the PCA. Nicholas Petrangelo, winner of the $ 5,300 Turbo 8-Handed NLHE event and finalist in the $ 25,000 High Roller, secures the third position.
Speaking of the GPI Top 300 live poker tournament players in the world, German Ole Schemion remains atop of the ranking for five weeks now. Bryn Kenney climbs up to 2nd position (+3) thanks to a 3rd-place finish in the $ 100,000 Super High Roller and an 11th one in the $ 25,000 High Roller (PCA). Final tablist in the $ 25,000 High Roller, Scott Seiver is also back to the Top 10 (7th, +18). Ditto for Jason Mercier and Jonathan Duhamel, who are respectively ranked 5th (+6) and 9th (+7).
