The Global Poker Index (GPI) has announced China’s Zhen Chen as the GPI Player of the Month for October 2024. Zhen had 8 impressive results through October, racking in $255,987 across events in Europe and Asia. Zhen began the month with a career-best live score of $99,780 after taking down the High Roller Mystery Bounty at Poker Dream 12 Jeju. He continued his run into EPT Cyprus and APPT Manila, where he picked up his second title by winning the APPT Manila National for $70,953.
Zen then made two final table finishes at APT Manila and ran deep in the APT Manila Main Event, finishing 16th for $ 13,757. Zhen racked up 1,144.51 GPI points for his best five results in October, topping GPI’s monthly leaderboard with 1,144.51 GPI points.
Chen’s late-October surge during APT Manila pushed him just ahead of American poker pro Matthew Wantman on the month’s final day. Wantman, the winner of the PokerGO Tour’s PLO II Series’ Pot Limit Omaha (Event #3), who had 7 results during the month, ended up just seven points behind Chen on the leaderboard with a 1,136.73 GPI points total.
Third place on the GPI October leaderboard belonged to Portugal’s Diogo Coelho, the EPT Cyprus Eureka high roller, who Coelho logged 1,114.87 GPI points in October.
Spanish star and GPI’s July Player of the month winner Adrian Mateos finished fourth in the October points tally. Canada’s all-time money leader and former GPI #1 Daniel Negreanu, who won Event #6 at PGT PLO Series II rounded out the top five (994.42).
