For the first time in a while, the same player holds the top spot in both the Sliding PLB and the Pro Poll. Annette_15 picked up two wins in the $50 rebuys on Stars last week, keeping the pace with challengers Imper1um and atimos, who have also climbed to PLB totals well over 6k and now hold the next two spots in the rankings. Mr. menlo climbed another spot to number 8 this week, and PokerJoe9 reentered the top 10, having picked up yet another five-figure cash last week. Not far below, ComeOnPhish rose another two spots to number 15 after picking up another two wins on Full Tilt and a 3rd place in a $150 on Stars. THAY3R jumped up two spots this week to number 20.
The next big movers all ended up right next to each other after each jumping at least 6 spots in the rankings. Shaniac had three top 6 finishes in a two day period on Stars, combining for nearly $27k. He moved up to number 29. Four6suited continued her trend of success, taking down a Full Tilt $75 and reaching another two final tables on Stars, just one week after she had two five-figure scores. She and UGOTPZD continued their upward trends, reaching numbers 30 and 31 in the rankings.
M8kingMoves AKA lilholdem954 took down a $100 rebuy and had a 2nd in a $50 rebuy last week, combining for more than $29k. He also moved up 6 spots to number 37. Ocrowe was the last player in the top 50 to make a big jump, moving up 5 spots to number 49. His week included 3 final tables.
One of the amazing and rarely talked about trends in the online poker community is the Sunday success of Davidp18. He took down the $200 rebuy on Stars for the second time on Sunday. He's also won the 2nd Chance $200 and twice taken down the UB $500, all in the last 6 months. He was one of the biggest movers in the rankings this week, moving up eleven spots to number 62.
The biggest riser, though, was dmmikkel, who gained 17 spots after a week that included two wins--$100 freezeouts on Stars and Party. He also final tabled the Sunday $200 on UB, and he's now ranked 76th overall.
One other player rose at least 10 spots this week, and that was pbdrunks. His notable win was a 9th place finish in the Sunday Million (and a half), and he moved up from the 100th ranking to number 89.
Two new players are in the rankings this week. JBDenaro157 had four cashes over $2k this week, all on UltimateBet. Those two seconds, a third, and a fourth helped him to become a new member of the prestigious list, and his initial ranking is number 87. Bond18 has been in and out of the rankings for a while, and he's reentered at the 100th spot this week.
