Dan · August 5, 2015

For the 14th straight week, Chile’s Nico PokerKaiserFierro (pictured) is the top dog in the PocketFives Rankings. He has been #1 ever since May 6 and is enjoying the longest run by anyone at #1 since Cal cal42688 Anderson did so for 22 weeks in late 2012 and early 2013. In fact, Fierro’s 14 weeks are tied for the eighth longest run ever.

Speaking of longest runs, here’s a look at who has been ranked #1 on PocketFives over the years the longest:

JohnnyBax: 74 weeks (April 2005 to September 2006)
M8kingmoves: 45 weeks (August 2007 to July 2008)
gboro780: 24 weeks (February 2009 to August 2009)
cal42688: 22 weeks (September 2012 to February 2013)
Flush_Entity: 18 weeks (March 2012 to July 2012)
AJKHoosier1: 18 weeks (September 2008 to January 2009)
gboro780: 17 weeks (February 2010 to June 2010)
Gettin Daize: 14 weeks (August 2010 to November 2010)
PokerKaiser: 14 weeks (May 2015 to present)

Fierro has a 500-point lead over second place in the Rankings this week and continues to churn out impressive results. Since the Rankings were recalculated last Wednesday, the Chilean won the WinamaxHigh Roller for $6,200 and took down the 888 Poker Mega Deep for another $22,000. The two cashes were worth almost 500 PLB Points, the metric used to determine the Rankings, combined.

There were no new entrants into the top 10 worldwide this week. Inside the top 10, Sweden’s eisenhower1moved up from #8 to #4 after taking down the PokerStars Hot $55 Turbo on Tuesday for $10,000. Over the weekend, he won the site’s $55 NLHE Turbo Re-Entry and raked in $8,500. eisenhower1 was ranked #2 on our site in 2013.

Outside of the top 10, a familiar face in the online poker world – Ami UhhMee Barer (pictured) – moved up from #49 to #26 after finishing second in the Bigger $55 for $23,000. He also has four wins since mid-July and is $95,000 shy of hitting $7 million for his career. If he were to hit $7 million, he’d become only the 17th PocketFiver to do so.

Finally this week, we wanted to single out Canada’s Justin Ouimette, who moved up 35 spots to settle at #55. He’s headed back up the Rankings after two wins since July 30 along with three other top-three finishes. Ouimette calls Windsor, Ontario home and is the top-ranked player in the border town.
