p0cket00 could be setting himself up to be #1 for a fourth straight week come July 23, when the Rankings are recalculated, as he has a nearly 300 PLB Point lead over Sweden’s r4ndomr4gs, who is #2 once again this week. p0cket00 won the Sunday Deep Ticket for $25,000 on June 29 for 353 PLB Points, but has recorded just one in the money finish since July 1.

Jumping from #42 worldwide to #17 this week is Cal cal42688Anderson (pictured above), another former #1 player in the Rankings.
