Rankings: Yong Kwon Climbs Back to #1 in New Jersey
Following a three-month stint on top of the New Jersey Online Poker Rankings, David ‘dehhhhh’ Coleman is no longer ranked #1 in the state. Yong ‘ykwon17’ Kwon is the new #1 after putting together a spectacular July.
Kwon amassed 12 wins over the course of July’s 31 days and put his career online earnings over the $1,150,000 mark. The largest prize won by Kwon came when he shipped the WSOP.com Ultimate Warrior, collecting $11,200 in the process. The win is the third-highest payout of Kwon’s online career.
Coleman is in second place now for now but still had a solid month. Despite being out in Las Vegas playing live events, Coleman was still able to win eight tournaments. The cash that sticks out the most, though, came at the World Series of Poker, where Coleman made a trip to the payout cage in the Main Event.
In third place for the second time in as many months is Mike ‘Lav519’ Lavenburg. Lavenburg did not put in his usual volume but still came away with two podium finishes.
Up to his career-best ranking at #4 in New Jersey is John ‘Selurznug’ Cosgrove, who followed up his 10 wins in June with eight more this past month. Cosgrove notched a win in the grueling PokerStars $200 buy in $60,000 guaranteed Sunday Special and earned $12,273 for the victory.
A familiar face among the top-10, Daniel ‘centrfildr’ Lupo checks in at #5. Lupo had another solid month and took five victory laps in July.
After jumping into the rankings last month at #5, Josh ‘therealjberg’ Rothberg falls to #6. It was still a productive month for Rothberg, as he put up three first place finishes and climbed onto the podium a total of seven times.
Former NJ #1 Jeremy ‘Jermz’ Danger is in seventh place once again and has Dan ‘wildman75’ Buzgon right behind him in eighth.
Matt ‘papamat25’ Iles climbs one spot to #9 despite cashing only fives times in all of July.
The newest member of the rankings is Sridhar ‘Sri100k’ Sangannagar, who moves up from being just outside of the rankings last month.
