Joseph Grech is challenging the Devilfish hard, with Julian Thew also on the move this month

Despite a disappointing WSOP the Devilfish remains at the top of the tree, but we're going to stick our necks out and say he will be passed in the next couple of months. Top contenders include Joseph Grech who is up to second thanks to four final tables this year, and Julian Thew who is back to his winning ways after taking down a $5,000 Deep Stack event at the Venetian, bagging over $250K.

Remember, even though the WSOP is over, there are still plenty of events to grab points in - the second half of the GUKPT is underway ad Season 5 of the EPT starts next month.

HOW WE WORK OUT THE RANKINGS

1. Finishing position where the buy-in was equal to or more than $1,000.

2. The number of entries, rounded down to the nearest ten (e.g. 204 entries counts as ‘up to 200’).

3. The buy-in.

The criteria are then multiplied together to give the points total. If a player makes the top ten in more than one event, we multiply their points total by 1.5, for three events by 2, for four events by 2.5, etc.
