It was a tight race at the top of the 888poker top-earners list for October as PocketFivers ‘HanTheMan’ just barely out-cashed out one of Sweden’s top pros in Jerry ‘perrymejsen’ Odeen.

Finland’s ’HanTheMan’ finished the month with $19,810 in total earnings, the bulk of which came with his victory in the October 27 edition of the $100,000 Sunday Sale Mega Deep where he took home $19,729. The score is only his second career five-figure cash, both of which have come on 888poker. The large score comes over seven years from his first five-figure cash which took place in 2012 for $24,332.

The result not only made ‘HanTheMan’ the top 888poker earner in October but also helped push him over the $ 550,000-lifetime online earnings mark. He currently sits as the #2,111-ranked player in the world.

Only $410 behind ‘HanTheMan’ is a player who is no stranger to binking five-figure cashes. Jerry ‘Perrymejsen’ Odeen is an elite online grinder, currently ranked #39 in the world with over $6.1 million in career earnings.

In October, the Swedish grinder earned $19,400 despite only cashing in two tournaments on 888poker. One was the October 20 edition of the $100,000 Sunday Mega Deep which was good for a $19,350 score. It’s Odeen’s fourth-best score on 888poker and his first five-figure score in 2019.

Canada’s Jonathan ‘JonnyKilo’ Kyriakides takes third on the top-earners list with four cashes and $17,503 in total earnings. Playing under the screen name ‘JonnyJamz’, Kyriakides picked up a victory in the October 13 $100,000 Sunday Mega Deep PKO edition for $17,075. He padded that with a few smaller cashes in the $10,000 Monsoon throughout the month.

As a result, Kyriakides currently sits at a career-high ranking of #389 in the world and is less than $60,000 away from earning his $500K badge.
