PocketFivers had themselves a successful month grinding the tournaments on 888poker.

888poker’s fall online poker series XL Eclipse starts this week and plenty of PocketFivers put themselves in prime position to crush the series by building up their bankrolls on 888poker in the month of August.

The month’s top earner was Denmark’s Rasmus ‘RAGATTACK’ Gadegaard who pulled in $22,448 over the course of 26 in the month finishes in August.

After taking a break from the site, he returned to the 888poker online felts on a mission, putting in heavy volume and getting rewarded for it throughout the month. His spotlight score was a victory in the August 18 edition of the $20,000 Sunday Sale Whale where he picked up a $10,065 score. Gadegaard had four podium finishes in the month all of which were good for four-figure scores or better and went a long way to his 888poker career total of nearly $38,000 in cashes.

While Gadegaard put in volume, former #1-ranked PocketFiver ‘lena900’ made the list with a single score. The online poker legend, who plays under the screen name ‘tutten7’ on 888poker, binked a victory in the $100,000 Sunday Sale Mega Deep for a massive $19,892 score. As Sweden’s top player, ‘lena900’ currently sits as the #3-ranked player in the world with over $15.6 million in total career earnings.

Brazil’s Leo ‘KaizenStyle’ Filho rounds out the top 3 earners for August after picking up $16,860 in total earnings over eight in-the-money finishes. Filho finished as the runner-up in the August 18 edition of the $100,000 Sunday Sale Mega Deep earning $14,469. Days later he added another $1,649 with a final table finish in the August 25 $20,000 Mini Mega Deep.

There’s a new name sitting atop the Top Cashers list as Russia’s ‘smooke78’ put in an incredible amount of volume in August and ended up cashing 68 times. ‘smooke28’, like many on this list, is a micro-stakes grinder but he managed to accumulate just over $1,069 for the month – an amount that goes a long way when you are firing in the small stakes.

Right behind him is Stephen ‘sizzlinbetta’ Reynolds, the #54-ranked player in all of Mexico. Reynolds racked up 63 cashes for the month and added $1,869 in earnings to his impressive $2.35 million in total career online earnings.

No list of top cashers would be complete without Russia’s ‘Neverhood007’. The micro-stakes grinder has spent a number of months in 2019 at the top of this list, but in August he took his foot off the gas for just a little bit to end up in third place with 58 total cashes and $1,955 in earnings.
