Thanks to being part of a five-way chop of a $2,100 No Limit Hold’em TCOOP event over the weekend, Denmark’s x_zola25rocketed into the top 10 of the PocketFives Rankingsthis week, debuting at #9 in the world. He was up 15 spots thanks to the mammoth $177,000 score. Amazingly, it came just one week after a victory in the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance for $43,000. Now we’ll see if he can keep up his hot streak.

This is the highest x_zola25 has ever been on PocketFives and he is up to $1.1 million in career online tournament winnings. He’s the top-ranked Danish player on our site and plays on rooms like Betfairunder the handle Zola25gud.

Hunichen has 7,549 PLB Points in total and leads the second place player in the Rankings, Yuri Martins, by a scant 90 points.

Another fast riser this week is David Davidp18Peters (pictured), who rose 20 spots to land at #11.

Peters is the #2 ranked player in Ontario and #1 in the hamlet of Belle River.

Finland’s OgSulttaanihad the biggest jump of anyone inside the top 100, leaping 48 spots to #23. He won nine tournaments in four days to help his cause: the PokerStars $109 Rebuy, PartyPoker $5,000 Guaranteed, PartyPoker Daily Major, PokerStars $320 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max, PokerStars $55 Saturday PLO, PokerStars $215 Weekly Six-Max, PokerStars $27 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max Turbo Progressive Super Knockout, PokerStars $82 Weekly Stud, and Winamax Royal Omaha.
