PocketFives Rankings Update: Big Huni #1 for Third Straight Week

Dan · February 11, 2015

For the third straight week, Chris Big HuniHunichen (pictured) is the #1 player in the PocketFives Online Poker Rankings. This is his first stint at #1 and he is certainly making his presence felt, as he won the Betfair/iPoker €25,000 Grand Friday last week for $7,100 and the PokerStars Big $162 two days prior for another $18,000. He has 7,670 PLB Points, the metric used to determine the Rankings, and leads the second place player by about 300.

London’s Vicente Delgado Zamorano, better known as vicenfish, moved up four spots to reenter the top 10 at #8. He final tabled the Bigger $162 over the weekend for $11,000 and took third in the PokerStars $109 Cubed the same day for almost $10,000. He’s two spots off his all-time high in the Rankings.

Jumping 32 spots in the Rankings to land at #22, his best showing ever, is Brazil’s fred_volpe. He won two tournaments on Sunday to help his cause: the Bigger $162 for $39,000 and an $82 NLHE Six-Max Hyper-Turbo for another $8,700. He received over 700 PLB Points combined and is now #3 in his home country.

Russia’s Blackkreentered his screen names and is now at #23 on PocketFives, his best mark ever. He has three wins in the last week, including a victory in the WinamaxHigh Roller for $6,900. Blackk is a five-time PocketFives Triple Crownwinner and plays on PokerStars and 888 Pokerunder the user name Biack88.

Finally this week, we wanted to single out Rob rtinnionTinnion, who won the Sunday Million for the second time in five months over the weekend and shot up to #62 in the world, his all-time high. Tinnion banked well over $400,000 from his two Sunday Million wins and is #7 in the UK.
