Andy McLEOD won a triple crown, and he didn't stop there. He's quickly becoming one of the elite online MTT players, as shown by his rise to number 11 in the sliding 3-month PLB. He also had the biggest rise of any player in the top 50 this week, moving up 14 spots to number 41. He finished the month of December in second place in the MPLB, barely losing to top-ranked BeL0WaB0Ve. Though his run didn't result in a win in the MPLB race, he finished the month (and 2006) with wins in the $55k Guaranteed and a $100 freezeout on Stars, followed by a 5th place finish in the Second Chance $200 and a near final table in the Full Tilt $250k---an incredible run.

Mkind16 and horryclutch also made big jumps this week of 10 and 8 spots respectively, securing spots in the top 50 of the PocketFives.com Online Tournament Player Rankings. November MPLB contender dipthrong also had a nice jump, moving up 5 spots to number 32.

Shaniac moved up 7 spots to number 29 this week, having picked up several nice scores including a 2nd place in a $100 rebuy on Stars, which was worth just under $15k.

The biggest riser close to the top, however, was P0KERPR033, who's no stranger to a high ranking but is now knocking on the door of the top 10, having moved up 10 spots to number 11. Known by many as his Stars moniker, jcamby33, he had five scores last week that were worth at least 100 PLB points each, including wins in the Stars $50 rebuy and Full Tilt $150 nightly tournament. On Monday, he picked up a win in the New Years Day $1k on Full Tilt, which was worth over $33k and more than 350 PLB points, a win that could very well propell him to an even higher ranking.

PearlJammer moved back into the top 10 this week, and atimos moved up to that status as well. Each reached their highest ranking to date by making this jump. Neither had an enormous week, but both have now been staples of consistency for months.

Some big risers in the bottom half of the top 100 include thenut21poker, who moved up 16 spots to number 63, Hixx, who moved up 11 spots to number 64, JOEYTHEB, up 10 spots to number 67, jeffbeesdat, up 11 spots to number 71, RollinFish, who had this week's highest jump of a full 20 spots to number 77, gaffel, up 11 spots to number 79, BigRiskky, up 10 spots to number 83, and Aaronbeen, who moved up 11 spots to number 89.

Big weekend winner gobboboy also had a big jump this week, rejoining the rankings at number 82 after having two big final tables on Sunday. Gobboboy is joined by two other previously unranked players, YoungSupremacy and PFabe.
