GPI Top 300 Player of the Week
Jason Mercier continues to lead the top 300 players for one more week. He maintained his good run and no other player performed miraculously to replace Mercier from the top spot. There is just a little movement at the bottom of top ten without any new player breaking into it. Philipp Gruissem, Daniel Negreanu, Mike Watson and Steve O’Dwyer are the top five as they were last week.
