The latest update of the Global Poker Index (GPI) Ranking saw some reshuffle, with a number of players going up and down in their position. The US poker professional Paul “The Main Event” Volpe managed to climb to the 12th position of the ranking.
In fact Paul Volpe has already climbed as high as the 4th place in the GPI Ranking, so it remains to be seen if he is to further attack the top 10 places. With all-time winnings amounting to $5,548,843 and live best cash of $654,170, Volpe is considered as one of the most prominent poker players
So far in 2016, the US poker pro has joined a large number of poker events, tournaments and festivals, making it a year to remember.
