'C Darwin2' celebrates his third straight month as the #1-ranked player in the world.

For as long as ‘C Darwin2‘s current run at the top of the PocketFives Rankings has lasted a new challenger emerged each week, rising up the rankings with the hopes of knocking the Swedish superstar off the throne. Even after a week where he picked up no qualifying cashes, ‘C Darwin2’ still held off every challenger and continues to hold a massive lead over the rest of the top 25.

Steven ‘SvZff’ van Zadelhoff moved back up to #3 from #5 thanks to three qualifying cashes. He finished runner-up in a PokerStars $530 Bounty Builder High Roller for $11,748 and 192.35 PLB points, fourth in an America’s Cardroom High Roller for $6,520/124.26 and then ended his week with a runner-up finish in a partypoker Monday Main Event for $16,015/212.76. He now sits 851.44 points behind #2-ranked ‘lena900‘.

After jumping up to #3 last week, Ramiro ‘Ramiro’ Petrone dropped one spot to #4 while ‘European‘ moved up one spot to #5.

Conor ‘1_conor_b_1’ Beresford moved back into the top 10 this week, jumping from #12 to #8. Beresford put together a solid week, collecting six qualifying cashes for 1,409.07 PLB points. His biggest score of the week came in the partypoker Sunday Major High Roller where he topped a field of 481 players to win $39,748.83 and 490.41 points.

Former #1-ranked Fabrizio ‘SixthSenSe19’ Gonzalez moved from to #32 all the way up to #19. Gonzalez had six qualifying cashes, adding 1,571.81 points to his total. Of those six cashes, two were wins and his earnings topped $120,555.

Two players dropped out of the top 25. Sweden’s Jerry ‘perrymejsen’ Ödeen fell from #23 to #26 and Brazilian ‘sitpro2011‘ slipped from #25 to #35.
