Thus, Alisson totals 3,350.63 points in the ranking. Meanwhile, the Argentine Nacho Barbero appears in second place, with 2,993.39. Therefore, the Brazilian’s advantage reinforces the size of the season he has been having.
In addition, the player has collected outstanding results in 2026. Among them are victories in the Mystery Bounty at Triton Jeju, the NLH €25k at EPT Monte Carlo, and the BSOP Winter Championship. Combined, these three wins yielded million-dollar prizes.
However, Alisson’s performance could be even greater if online poker were included. After all, the Brazilian also won a title at the GGMillion$ High Rollers. However, results from virtual felt games are not part of the GPI ranking points.
