The Global Poker Index Player of the Year award is back in 2021 following a one-year hiatus due to the global health pandemic. Alex Foxen is the two-time defending champion (2018, 2019), but this just might be the year someone else unseats the former college football athlete. Or, maybe not.
GPI is celebrating 10 years of ranking poker players, and on Tuesday released an update to the Player of the Year rankings for the first time in 2021. Ali Imsirovic leads the way (2,758 points) and is followed closely by Qing Liu (2,339), who nearly won back-to-back WPT final tables in consecutive days earlier this year.
