We had two new entrants this week into the top 10 of the PocketFives Rankings, which were recalculated on Wednesday. We’ll start with one of the biggest advancers inside the top 100, Aaron aguskb Gustavson (pictured), who shot up 22 spots from #29 to #7. This is his highest position ever in the Rankings.

Gustavson has $3.6 million in career online tournament winnings and has torn up the online poker felts so far in July. On the 5th, he finished second in the PokerStarsBigger $162 and $109 Cubed for $33,000 total and followed that up with wins in the Full Tilt Five-O and PokerStars Hot $44. He’s the top-ranked player from Mexico.

Then there was Austria’s mindgamer, who returned to the top 10 after a brief hiatus and sits at #10 in the world. The Vienna resident was ranked #1 on our site two years ago and won the Full Tilt Big Ben on the last day of May for $10,000, but has not recorded an in the money score since.

Outside the top 10, Romania’s tilt21sted(pictured) moved up 27 spots to settle at #33. He just earned his $2 million cash badgeand won the Full Tilt Sunday Major last month for $31,000. He’s the #2 ranked player in Romania and plays on PokerStars under the pseudonym steakaddict.
