The latest installment of the PocketFives Rankingswere released on Wednesday and Chris Big HuniHunichen (pictured) became our #1 player for the first time ever. Part of the reason: a victory in the Full Tilt Sunday Major over the weekend for $36,000 and 421 PLB Points.

Hunichen has $7.2 million in career online tournament winnings, the eighth highest total of any PocketFiver, and is nearing 5,000 tracked scores. The Sunday Major was one of six MTTs he has taken down in January. Hunichen is the first #1 player from Costa Rica we’ve had in a year.

We had two new entrants into the top 10 worldwide this week. The first is CrownUpGuy, who has been bouncing around the top 10 for several months now. He ticked up two spots to #9 and won the Full Tilt Tyrannosaurus Rex on the first day of 2015 for $4,100. In the last four months, he has won the WCOOP Main Event, Full Tilt Sunday Major, and PokerStars Sunday 500.

Also cracking the top 10 this week was Romeopro (pictured), who, like CrownUpGuy, moved up two spots. Romeopro can be found at #10 in the world and is $8,000 shy of hitting $5 million in online tournament winnings for his career. He won a $265 NLHE Knockout on PokerStars five days ago for $8,300 and is the top-ranked Ukrainian PocketFiver.

Outside of the top 10, one of the biggest jumps of the week went to Austria’s mindgamer, who moved up 28 spots to #14. He has won four tournaments in the last six days on PokerStars: the $320 NLHE Six-Max, $109 Cubed, $215 Rebuy, and $82 NLHE Six-Max Hyper-Turbo. He was last ranked #1 on PocketFives in 2013.

Finally this week, we wanted to single out x_zola25, who moved up 29 spots to #24 after a weekend in which he won the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance and final tabled the Sunday $109 Rebuy for $65,000 and 732 PLB Points combined. He is now just $5,000 shy of hitting $1 million in career online tournament winnings.

Here are the top 10 players in the PocketFives Rankings this week, along with the PLB score for each:

1. Big Huni – 7,664 points
2. Yuri Martins – 7,599 points
3. joaomathias – 7,384 points
