This week's P5s Rankings update features Englishman rivermanl of London, who is up nine spots to #9 worldwide through his consistent results over the past few months. Back in November, rivermanl won the Full Tilt Online Poker Series $240 Knockout Event #8 for over $137,000. That victory came only one month after he took down the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance for $54,500. The latest United Kingdom entry into the top 10 is currently ranked #3 in PocketFives Leader Board points; which could pave the way for a spot among the top 5 in upcoming weeks. Only six months ago, rivermanl also won the Full Tilt $1k Monday for $91,750. The PocketFives Rankings are determined by adding the PLB, Pro Poll, and Previous rankings together to get a final number. The lowest final number gains the lowest, or best, ranking (see below).
