Bin Weng GPI Player of the Year Top TenĪnkit Ahuja, who was still alive and near the top of the leaderboard at the midway point of Day 4 at the WPT World Championship, is close behind Kopp thanks in part to his win at the $1,100 Eureka Main Event at EPT Cyprus. The $1,000,000 One Drop tournament kicks off on Monday, December 18, but it would need 35 players to qualify for GPI points, and there might not be enough points available to catch Weng.

Nacho Barbero trails by less than 300 points - an amount easily overcome by a win in the $40 million WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas - and Ren Lin was near the top of the leaderboard near the end of Day 4. Weng is on top of a crowded leaderboard of poker’s best, but his big wins and deep runs throughout 2023 may be too much to overcome in the last month of the year. The 2023 Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Year race is Bin Weng’s to lose as the players wind down a bumper year for live poker throughout the world.
