StrungOut1 has 201 tracked victories in online MTTs and almost 500 top-three finishes. He had four wins in August, including a smashing $145,000 score for taking down the Sunday Million. That was worth 1,000 PLB Points and propelled him to 7,152 points overall, about 150 ahead of second place in the Rankings, which belongs to Aaron aguskb Gustavson.

Gustavson (pictured) dethroned Fierro last week and currently sits at #2 worldwide. He is approaching $4 million in career scores online and has another $1.5 million in the live arena. His third largest score ever came earlier this year, a $52,000 haul for finishing as the runner-up in the PokerStars Super Tuesday.

One-hundred points behind Gustavson is Fierro, so we certainly have a pretty close race at the top of the PocketFives Rankings. Fierro won the 888Mega Deep twice earlier this year for almost $70,000 total and continues to pace the Chile poker community.

A familiar face in the Rankings, r4ndomr4gs, aka Andreas Berggren, moved up from #12 to #6 this week. He was ranked #1 on PocketFives last year and is a few days removed from winning the PokerStars.fr Summer Special for $21,000. He final tabled the PokerStars Sunday $109 Rebuy last month and continues to be a staple of major final tables.

Cracking the top 10 for the first time in his career is Sergio EV4dGloryOMC Garcia, who calls Ireland home and moved up three spots from #13 to #10. He is $6,000 shy of hitting $1 million in online MTT cashes and won the PokerStars $109 Rebuy last month for $10,000. He is the top-ranked player in Ireland out of 628 with PLB scores.

Here are the top 10 players in the Rankings this week along with the PLB score for each:

1. StrungOut1– 7,152 points
2. aguskb– 7,104 points
3. PokerKaiser– 7,004 points
4. prebzzz – 6,887 points
