David Peters replaces Fedor Holz at the top of the Global Poker Index World Rankings ending the German’s record 30-week streak, and the ranking authority rolls out new algorithm change across the board.

The accuracy of algorithms behind poker ranking systems is a debate that often lights a fire under the hairy ass crack of some of poker’s smartest players, but the Global Poker Index (GPI) believe they have cracked it big time.

The GPI has announced that recent changes made to the algorithm that supported the GPI sponsored World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year (POY), and the GPI POY will soon be rolled out throughout the entirety of the GPI rankings including the GPI World Rankings.

Jason Mercier and David Peters picked up the 2016 WSOP and GPI POY awards respectively, and I haven’t heard a peep from the naysayers, so I guess the new secret sauce works.
