Dan · December 3, 2014

For the third straight week, Canada’s p0cket00(pictured) sits atop the PocketFives Poker Rankings, this time with a PLB score of 7,758 points. He holds a razor-thin 18-point lead over second place, but is enjoying his second stint in the top spot this year and his longest reign at #1 since late 2011.

p0cket00 won the 888 Poker Whale last month for $52,000, his 10th largest score to date. Here’s a look at his largest cashes all-time:

1st Place: bwin Grand Tournament XXXII, 12/28/2008, $213,000
1st Place: PokerStars Super Tuesday, 5/27/2014, $106,210

For the third straight week, we had no new entrants in the top 10 worldwide of the Rankings and no one moved more than two spots in any direction within that group. The only notable change was by r4ndomr4gs, who moved up from #10 to #8 after winning the Full TiltSaturday Six-Max and PokerStars $109 Rebuy over the weekend for a combined $15,000.

Knocking on the door of the top 10 and sitting at #12 worldwide, up 12 spots this week, is Sweden’s Liinda14(pictured). She won a PokerStars Carnival event on Sunday for $23,000 and is $67,000 shy of hitting $3 million in scores for her career. You can find her on PokerStars under the user name nicelife.

Also sitting just outside the top 10 is MendaLerenda, who moved up 18 places to #15 thanks to a win in a $109 No Limit Hold’em tournament on PokerStars and a second place finish in a $215 No Limit Hold’em tournament on the same site for $25,000 total. Like Liinda14, MendaLerenda is at his highest spot ever in the PocketFives Rankings.

Finally, we wanted to talk about Canada’s David Davidp18 Peters, who moved up 10 spots to #21. He recorded 14 in the money finishes over the weekend for $10,000 total and then won a $109 No Limit Hold’em Turbo on PokerStars on Monday for $7,900. Peters stands at $4.3 million in tracked online MTT scores for his career and reached an all-time high of #18 in the Rankings earlier this year.
