It’s Wednesday, which means the PocketFives Online Poker Rankingsreceived their weekly facelift. There were no new entrants in the top 10 worldwide this week, but we did have plenty of risers and fallers, including Simon IgorK Pedersen (pictured), who moved up two spots to #7.
This is the highest Pedersen has ever been in the Rankings and comes on the heels of seven wins in the last four weeks: the PartyPokerHeavyweight Uppercut, PokerStars$55 Turbo, Winamax High Roller (twice), PartyPoker Heavyweight, 888Crocodile, and William Hill €25,000 Grand Tuesday. Those seven victories brought his career win total up to 95.
Pedersen is the top-ranked player in Denmark out of the 519 PocketFivers in that country with PLB scores and plays as Igorkarkarofon PokerStars and PartyPoker. He has $154,000 in live tournament cashes as well, according to the Hendon Mob.
Toronto’s Jimmy JMolloy Molloy moved up 31 spots to #41 this week after winning the PokerStars Sunday $109 Rebuy over the weekend for $37,000. He has taken down the site’s $109 Cubed and $82 Six-Max Hyper-Turbo since then and is almost certain to climb even higher in the Rankings when they’re recalculated next Wednesday.
Finally this week, we wanted to talk about another PocketFiver from Denmark: Skrigepas. He reentered the top 100 at #84 and won the Full Tilt Sunday Major over the weekend for $12,000. Skrigepas was ranked as high as #6 on PocketFives earlier this year and is the top-ranked online poker player in the city of Aarhus.
Here are the top 10 players in the Rankings this week along with the PLB score for each:
1. eisenhower1 – 7,907 points
2. veeea – 7,472 points
3. lena900 – 6,761 points
