He is the champion of E#37 $10,000 NLH 6max Championship for the WSOP, he came in 1st and 2nd at the Aria High Rollers for 2015 and finished number 3 at the Bellagio Cup. These are the main results, among many other payouts, that made Byron Kaverman jump from the 6th spot of the Global Poker Index,  in the last year (which adds the results for the last three years) to the number 1 spot in the world for the first time in his career.

Meanwhile, Jason Mercier fell from the throne after 10 consecutive weeks when he lost the points corresponding to the  2012 World Series of Poker Europe, which was played during September in Cannes , and where he reached the final tables for the  Main Event (8th – $84,672) and the 5k PLO (9th – $12,245).

Iván Lucá lost the points he got for winning the 2012 CAP Rosario and fell to the 3rd spot on the  Latinamerican GPI. The newest #1 is now Farid Jattin who has everything to gain since he will not have to defend many points in 2016 either. Ariel «Bahia» Celestino is third but the points corresponding to the Millionaire Tournament played in Camboriú  have not been added yet, which means he could still go up (we have already presented the claim and let’s hope they add them soon, just like the ones for the last CAP Rosario).

With regards to Player Of The Year Latin-America the one who striked was Mario López and with his last title for the Main Event for the LAPT 8 Uruguay , he got himself in the podium. Also, showing incredible advancement, is Oscar Alache who got quite a number of points coming in 3rd at the High Roller for the same festival.
