RANKINGS: 'lena900' Extends Lead, Conor Beresford Makes Big Jump
Had #1-ranked ‘lena900‘ taken the last week off from grinding, he likely would have remained in the top spot of the PocketFives Rankings. Instead, the Swede had a week to remember, racking up over 1,000 PLB points and breaking the 10,000 point barrier to put himself well ahead of the rest of the field.
The week started with a bang for ‘lena900’ with a win in the PokerStars Hot $215 on March 31 for $8,487 and 208.33 points. He then took down the $530 buy-in partypoker High Roller for $9,260 and 174.64 points. Those two cashes though were just setting the table for a big Sunday. He started things off by winning the Hot $162 for $7,235 and 193.65 and then made it through 2,306 other players before finishing runner-up in the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up for $48,796 and 448.24 points – his fifth biggest take ever. When the week was done, ‘lena900’ added 1,024.86 points to his total and ended up with 10,011.11 points and a lead of 1,384.77 points over his nearest competitor.
Despite cashing 30 times this past week, #2-ranked ‘C Darwin2‘ was unable to find a single run deep enough to add to his points total. While he’s well behind ‘lena900’, there are just 44.56 points separating him and Fabrizio ‘SixthSenSe19’ Gonzalez. For his part, Gonzalez put in very little volume this past week and failed to record a single cash big enough to help his points total.
Two other Swedes, ‘inhoo‘ and ‘Ariados‘, maintained their #4 and #5 respective spots from last week to round out the top five, but the biggest mover of the week was British proConor ‘1_conor_b_1’ Beresford.
Beresford jumped from #20 to #6 thanks to a runner-up finish in the $530 buy-in partypoker High Roller on Sunday. That result added $22,876 to his bankroll and 246.42 points to his total. He now sits just four spots off of his career of #2 that he last reached in 2016.
The rest of the top 10 remained largely unchanged with Nicolas ‘PokerKaiser’ Fierro and Andreas ‘r4ndom4gs’ Berggren swapping the #6 and #7 spots while ‘pappadogg’ and Andras ‘probirs’ Nemeth moved down one spot each. Canadian Joel ‘jbrown8777’ Brown fell out of the top 10.
