Dan · November 20, 2013

For the second straight week, Chris moorman1Moorman (pictured) sits atop the PocketFives Poker Player Rankings. The Brit had a spectacular week to boot, winning his 19th PocketFives Triple Crown. Moorman is over $10.3 million in tracked online poker winnings, the highest total of anyone on the site by $3.5 million.

The capstone of Moorman’s 19th Triple Crown was a win in the WinamaxHigh Roller on Sunday for $18,000 and 267 PLB Points. Prior to that, he took down a $93 tournament on Ongame for $4,200 and the bwin $10,000 Guaranteed Speed for $2,800. When he won the High Roller, Moorman took to Twitter to say, “Good day for the charity fund. 5 final tables including a win to complete my 7th Triple Crown this year (19th total) #winning.”

As Moorman said, he won his seventh Triple Crown of 2013. To put that into perspective, the next closest person on the Triple Crown leaderboard has 11 in their entire career, so Moorman has certainly put on a show in 2013. He final tabled an FTOPS tournament in August for $62,000 and won the $1K Saturday one month later for $53,000. He has 7,697 PLB Points, about 150 more than second place worldwide.

For the first time in as long as we can remember, there were no new entries into the top 10 this week. In fact, the top four remained the same. The biggest jump inside the top 10 went to Brian brianm15England, who moved up from #8 to #5. England finished second in the PokerStars Super Tuesday last week for $83,000 and 511 PLB Points officially.

Outside of the top 10, Toronto’s tuna_fish_tank jumped from #49 worldwide to #23 this week, his highest spot ever in the Rankings. He is on the verge of passing $4 million in tracked online MTT winnings and took down the PokerStars Big $162 on November 11 for $21,000. So far this month, he has booked $54,000 in cashes across 43 in the money finishes. He is the #1 ranked player in Ontario, Canada.

Next up, we should talk about Brisbane’s googiemona, who rose 16 spots from #41 worldwide to #25, also his highest spot ever. He is the second ranked player in Australia and won a WCOOP $215 Pot Limit Five Card Omaha High-Low tournament in September for $40,000 officially, his largest tracked cash to date. He final tabled the PokerStars Sunday 500 four days later for another $25,000.

Finally, after reentering his poker site names this week, Sweden’s Yaya24 reappeared in the PocketFives Rankings at #39 worldwide. Ten days ago, he final tabled the PokerStars.fr FCOOP Main Event and walked away with a staggering $165,000 and nearly 700 PLB Points.
