Don’t look now, but there’s a familiar name in the online poker world barreling towards the top of the PocketFives Rankings: Sweden’s Sheater. He was up a very healthy 12 spots this week and ended up at #4 with 6,586 PLB Points, the metric used to determine the Rankings.

Sheater was ranked #1 on PocketFives last year and turned in a rock solid weekend in which he won both the PokerStars Sunday $109 Rebuy and PokerStars.fr Sunday Night Live. The two cashes were worth over $60,000 combined as well as more than 800 PLB Points. It’s easy to see why he’s in the top five worldwide once again.

Another Swede, AnteSvante(pictured), moved up five spots to #5 and sits one position behind Sheater. AnteSvante won the Full Tilt Fat Tuesday earlier this month for $14,000 and took down the PokerStars.fr Six-Max Club four days later. His real name is Anton Wigg and he has over $5.6 million in career online tournament winnings.

We’ve already talked about two Swedes in the top 10, so we might as well highlight the other two as well. Yes, there are four Swedes in the top 10 worldwide on PocketFives. The first is eisenhower1, who is #7 on our site. He won the Hot $55 earlier this month for $10,000 two days after taking down a $55 NLHE Turbo Re-Entry on PokerStars. His $7.2 million in online tournament winnings is the 13th most of any PocketFiver.

The fourth and final Sweden pokercommunity member in the top 10 is Ariados, who moved up from #11 to #8 this week, his all-time high. He took down the PokerStars $215 Rebuy on August 2 for $12,000, his 51st tracked win. He plays as Sasuke234on PokerStars and SODA1RAon PartyPoker.

Outside of the top 10, we wanted to single out joaosimaobh (pictured), who calls Brazil home and reentered the top 100 at #47, the best top-100 debut of anyone. He had a blockbuster Sunday in which he won the Full Tilt Super Sized Sunday and PokerStars Sunday Second Chance for over $60,000 total. He is seven spots off his all-time best showing in the Rankings.
