For the last nine weeks Fabrizio ‘SixthSenSe19’ Gonzalez has been the #1-ranked player on PocketFives. His rise to the top spot came mostly from his PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker leaderboard win, but he hasn’t exactly been resting on that success. Nobody had a better November than Gonzalez as the Uruguayan pro topped the November PocketFives Leaderboard, beating out Anton Wigg, Alex Dimitrov and Andreas Beggren in the process.

Gonzalez’s top 20 cashes in November (the monthly PLB is based on a player’s top 20 scores) included four wins, two runner-up finishes and 14 final tables. All told he earned $206,667 with nearly a quarter of that coming from a second place finish in the PokerStars Super Tuesday on November 15. In that event Gonzalez outlasted 374 other players before being defeated heads up by Russia’s ‘Stivi Ger’ to walk away with $50,523 and 404.55 PLB points.

The next week he posted wins in the $2,600 buy-in partypoker Super High Roller and the $530 partypoker High Roller for a total of $75,265 and 747.49 PLB points. Gonzalez ended up beating out runner-up Anton ‘AnteSvante’ Wigg by 111.82 points.

Wigg’s month was highlighted by his win the PokerStars French Championship of Online Poker. Wigg beat out 664 other players to win the FCOOP Event #26, €200 Six Max NLHE, for $23,221 and 366.34 PLB points. That win was one of six that he had in his top 20 finishes. He also managed two runner ups and a total of 16 final tables on his way to earning $133,030.

Finishing just 64.47 points behind Wigg was the current #2-ranked player in the world, Alex ‘alexd2’ Dimitrov. The Bulgarian put in an incredible amount of volume in November, cashing a total of 165 times – more than double that of Wigg. His top 20 cashes included 11 wins, two runner-up finishes and all but one of them were a final table appearance. The higher volume comes from Dimitrov’s willingness to play almost any MTT running and results in many small scores. Still, he had five five-figure scores, including a $20,607.99 cash for his second place finish to ‘Lena900’ in the partypoker Heavyweight Main Event on November 7.
