This week's P5's Rankings update shows top-ranked player Chad M8kingmoves Batista (pictured) regaining the overall PLB lead among online players worldwide. Chad took down yet another PokerStars $100 rebuy earlier this week, and currently holds the second-longest reign atop the P5's Rankings in history; second to online poker legend JohnnyBax. Isaac "mr. menlo" Baron is up one spot to #3 this week following yet another major online tournament victory. On May 7th, Isaac won the Full Tilt Poker FTOPS Event #1 for nearly $159,000. Daniel "djk123" Kelly and Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis are up one spot to #4 and #7 respectively, while "shaundeeb" moves up to #8 following his $102,000 score for first place in the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up.
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy continues to prove that he can hang with today's toughest online tournament players; moving up two places to #12, as "bhanks11" finds himself ranked #13 in the world. "PURPLEPILS99" moves up four to #16, and this week's P5's Podcast guest, Taylor "ElMastermind" McFarland breaks into the Top 20. Taylor is two-thirds of the way to capturing a Triple Crown after winning the Full Tilt $65k Guaranteed and PokerStars $100 rebuy tournaments earlier this week for a combined total of $48k. Another streaky player, Nick "fu_15" Maimone is up five to #21 on the heels of his May 11th victory in the PokerStars $200 Sunday rebuy for $48,400.
Former Top 10 player Adam "Roothlus" Levy is making a comeback in the rankings; moving up eight spots to #24 this week after taking 3rd in a PokerStars $100 rebuy. "Mendieat19" is also up eight spots, to #27. This week's biggest jump in the rankings comes courtesy of Andy "BKiCe" Seth, who took down a $100 rebuy tournament on May 10th for $31,000. Andy is up 24 to #34 this week. "CrazyZachary" moves up 11 to #40 following his 3rd place showing in the PokerStars $1k Super Tuesday that earned him $38,400, while Florida's "THEDONATOR" jumps 15 to #48. Kevin "ImaLuckSac" MacPhee rounds out the Top 50, and could move up further in upcoming weeks due to his high PLB score.
Sweden's "eisenhower1" is currently ranked #54 after climbing 17 spots and raking in a five-figure score from the FTOPS Event #7. "Mattg1983" is up 18 to #67, and "JCarver" moves up 13 to #68. Travis "TravestyFund" Rice continues to prove that he has a place among the world's best online tournament players; jumping 15 spots to #74. Long-time poker hero Eric "Rizen" Lynch re-enters the rankings this week at #84 after taking down the UltimateBet $40k Guaranteed Sniper tournament earlier this month, as "FishOnTilt" is new at #85. UltimateBet $200k Guaranteed winner "Patrolman35" is now ranked #93, and "soggyvag2" re-enters at #94. Also new to the rankings this week are PocketFivers "OnlyPlayRagz" and "gregior," who are now ranked #95 and #96 respectively.
