The Global Poker Index confirm Alex Foxen and his partner Kristen Bicknell as the two leading lights of the male and female Player of the Year race, and Jake Schindler wins the Card Platyr of the Year award.

It’s official; poker has a king and queen.

The noted poker ranking authority, The Global Poker Index (GPI), has crowned Alex Foxen as the 2018 GPI Player of the Year (PoY) and bestowed the GPI Female PoY title to his partner, Kristen Bicknell.

The mountain lion like Foxen booked the victory after finishing runner-up to Isaac Haxton in the season-ending Super High Roller Bowl V (SHRB). Any less, and Stephen Chidwick would have pinched it at the death thanks to his third-place finish in the same event.
