We have a pretty tight race for the top spot in the PocketFives Online Poker Rankings. The leaderboard was recalculated on Wednesday and Cal cal42688Anderson (pictured) sits atop it for the third straight week with a PLB score of 8,035. To help his cause, he had a pair of scores on PokerStars on October 15 of $6,400 and $5,700 that were worth a total of 300 PLB Points.

Right behind Anderson in the Worldwide Rankings is Chris moorman1Moorman, who has been in “beast mode” as of late. Moorman recently became the first PocketFiver ever to hit $10 millionin tracked online poker scores and also captured his record-setting 17th Triple Crown. As if all of that weren’t enough, he is two-thirds of the way to his 18th Triple Crown. Moorman has 7,881 PLB Points, or 154 less than Anderson.

At 115 PLB Points behind Moorman, and 269 behind Anderson, is Caio pessagnoPessango, who calls Brazil home. Pessagno was last ranked #1 on October 1 and has 15 final tables in tracked online MTTs, including two wins, since October 10. He has nearly $4 million in tracked winnings across PokerStars and Full Tilt alone over the course of his career and makes his home in Sao Paulo.

Sitting at #4 in the PocketFives Rankings is Vinkyy, who is 341 PLB Points behind Anderson. He dropped one spot this week, but won last weekend’s Saturday Six-Max on Full Tilt for $10,000 and took second in the PokerStars Big $162 on the same day for another $14,000.

Jumping from #21 worldwide to #8 this week is Malta’s Bjorn Kleathersson, who is better known as kleath on PocketFives. Kleathersson had a rousing start to the month that included wins in the PokerStars.fr Monday Night on Stars for $15,000 and the PokerStars Big $109 for $20,000. Late last month, he took second in a WCOOP tournament for $67,000 officially.

England’s Charlie chaz_man_chaz Combes (pictured) moved up from #75 worldwide to #18, a gain of 57 spots, in part on the strength of three scores of at least $20,000 on October 13. On that fateful day, Combes won the PokerStars $109 Turbo for $21,000, took second in the Full Tilt Super Sized Sunday for the same amount, and won the PokerStars.fr Half Price Sunday High Roller for $39,000. Those three scores were worth over 1,000 PLB Points combined.

1. cal42688– 8,035 points
