2019 has come to a close, and that means one important thing in the online poker world. Today, the Global Poker Index has named its Players of the Year<\/strong> with five players receiving special honours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Full List of GPI Players of the Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are six players who have received the top honours for\nthe GPI\u2019s Players of the Year. Each one has accumulated points based on their\ncashes over the last year, and these are the players who came out on top: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Title\n <\/td>\n Player\n <\/td>\n Cashes\n <\/td>\n Wins\n <\/td>\n Earnings\n <\/td>\n GPI Points\n <\/td><\/tr>
\n Player of the Year and Player of the Year Americas\n <\/td>\n William Alex Foxen\n <\/td>\n 40\n <\/td>\n 2\n <\/td>\n $6,346,433\n <\/td>\n 4,017.12\n <\/td><\/tr>
\n Female Player of the Year\n <\/td>\n Kristen Bicknell\n <\/td>\n 36\n <\/td>\n 3\n <\/td>\n $2,461,581\n <\/td>\n 3,117.58\n <\/td><\/tr>

The special thing about Alex Foxen winning the Player of the Year title is that it is his second time in a row<\/strong> to do so. No other player in the history of the GPI\u2019s Player of the Year race has ever done so before. Foxen has truly had a fantastic year, and the pressure is now on for him to complex the trifecta in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GPI has also named Players of the Year for every country<\/strong>. Sam Greenwood is Canada\u2019s Player of the Year while Joao Simao is Brazil\u2019s. Kahle Burns has won the Player of the Year title in Australia, while Anatoly Filatov won the title in the Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these players have had a tremendous year in the\npoker world. We\u2019re sending out our congratulations to all of them, and wishing them\neven more success in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How GPI Points Are Calculated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Global Poker Index calculates points for players with\nquite a complex system. Players receive points for tournaments that have 32 or\nmore players and a buy-in of at least $1. Their total number of points is\ndetermine based on their finish relative to the number of runners in each event\nand the \u201cbuy-in factor\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race will begin again as poker tournaments start getting\nunderway in the near year. Of course, it will be an exciting race, and we\u2019re\neager to see which players will come out on top in 2020. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2019 has come to a close, and that means one important thing in the online poker world.
