There’s a brand new #1 ranked player on PocketFives. After a five-week reign by p0cket00, Nicolas PokerKaiserFierro (pictured) assumed the position with 7,589 PLB Points, a scant 57 more than p0cket00, who now sits in second place. The PocketFives Rankings are recalculated every Wednesday.

On September 22, Fierro won a PokerStars WCOOP $215 NLHE Turbo Knockout for $101,000 and a commanding 802 PLB Points. The same day, he took down the PokerStars.fr Storm for another 157 PLB Points. As a result, he has generated $6.6 million in career online tournament winnings, the 11th highest total of any PocketFiver.

There was only one newcomer to the top 10 this week, Vancouver’s jbrown8777, who entered at #6 after rising from #12. He final tabled the PokerStars Sunday $100 Rebuy over the weekend for $20,000 and won the Big $109 two days before that for another $26,000. He is the top-ranked player in British Columbia.

After signing up for PocketFives and entering his user names last week, vicenfish from London entered the Rankings at #11. He won a WCOOP Eight-Max Re-Entry High Roller event for a blistering $702,000 officially, which was also good for almost 2,000 PLB Points. He more than doubled his career online tournament winnings as a result.

Cyprus’ daskalos (pictured) moved up 22 spots to settle at #19 in the world after winning a WCOOP Second Chance tournament in recent days for $117,000 and almost 800 PLB Points. He won the PokerStars Big $55 on September 12 for $19,000 and just passed $2 million in online winnings. He is one of 111 PocketFivers with a PLB score from Cyprus.

Rising 45 spots was Sweden’s Yaya24, who ended up at #23 worldwide on the strength of a solid Sunday in which he won the PokerStars.fr High Roller and made the last three tables of a WCOOP event for almost $30,000 total. Yaya24 is the #3 ranked player in Sweden and has $3.7 million in career scores.
