- In September I attended the G2E convention in Las Vegas. All the major vendors were there including Abbiati, GPI, & Matsui. Many were nice enough to give away many samples of their various products. The most interesting item I found is from Paulson’s new Premium line. It is a combination of a chip and jeton.
Hey, poker playas! We have updated the current GPI of the Philippines. A lot of changes have happened and a new leader for the 2020 poker GPI emerged. Reggie Bautista is now the new number 1 at the 2020 GPI and even came in at the overall GPI. You can check it.
