He defeated a field of 770 entrants in the Sunday 500, which earned him 620 PLB Points and his third largest online score ever. It came on the heels of wins earlier this year in a TCOOP $27 Rebuy and the PokerStars Super Tuesday. Those two victories combined for over $200,000 in cash plus 1,154 PLB Points, vaulting him into the top 10 on our site. He just passed $1 million in tracked scores.

Canada’s p0cket00held on to the #1 spot in the Rankings for the fourth straight week and has 7,833 PLB Points, about 140 more than the next closest person. The Ontario poker player has 5,446 in the money finishes for an average haul of $1,449.

Rising 20 spots in the Rankings to land at #21 worldwide is Chris makkapakk Johnson, who finished second in the PokerStars Big $162 one week ago for $12,000. His big claim to fame came at the beginning of July, when he won the PokerStars Sunday Million for $191,000 officially and a healthy 1,122 PLB Points. He is the #3 player in the UK.

Romania’s Belus Andrei, who is known on PocketFives as gigibaston (pictured), moved up 13 spots this week to #26. On July 6, he won the PokerStars Bigger $162 for $34,000 and nearly 450 PLB Points and is one of a baker’s dozen of PocketFivers to pass $1 million in tracked scores this month. Andrei is the top-ranked player in Romania, where he lives in the 300,000-person city of Timisoara.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Alen lilachaa Bilic (pictured), who was ranked in the top 10 on PocketFives earlier this year, moved up 21 spots to #46. He defeated seven other PocketFivers at the final table of the PokerStars Sunday $100 Rebuy three days ago, a feat that was good for $47,000 and 500 PLB Points. This all comes after he took a two-month hiatus from the online tables for the World Series of Poker.

Also leaping high is Brazil’s Marco Amtozza Tozzatto, who jumped 27 spots from #82 to #55 on the strength of a win in the PokerStars $109 NLHE Turbo 2X Chance for $17,000 and 304 PLB Points. He stands at $1.6 million in online tournament winnings and is #2 in Brazil.
