Anyone looking to keep up to date with the current status of the poker community would be advised to stay in contact with the Global Poker Index (GPI). This is believed to be one of the most accurate ways to rank poker players and there is a special weighting towards recent tournaments and events.
According to the stats, and whether you want to believe them, sees Roberto Romanello still being listed as the top UK poker player. In more exciting terms, not only does this mean that Romanello can look down on all of the other poker players in the United Kingdom, it sees him listed as the 17th highest ranked poker player in the world. When you think about how many poker players there are in the world, this is a high accolade indeed!
In his time, Romanello has achieved some good success in the poker scene. He has won the European Poker Tour in Prague and the World Poker Tour in Bratislava so he knows all about being a poker winner.
UK riding high in the poker charts
With 12 US poker players above Romanello in the list, it is no shock to see the United States riding high on the list of poker players. Of the top 300 ranked poker players in the world, 141 come from the United States. When you consider the difficulties in playing online poker in the US, it is probably no surprise to see so many US poker players looking to play in the main events.
The United Kingdom were listed fourth with respect to the number of players listed in the top 300. The US top the bill and then France and Canada come next but with 18 poker players, the United Kingdom is well placed in the upper echelons of poker players.
