Last month, former #1-ranked player Chris ‘Big Huni’ Hunichen cracked the top 25 rankings and became just the fifth player to ever hit $10 million in lifetime earnings. It seems he’s not interested in stopping there. Hunichen went from #13 in the world to #9 and could be setting himself up for another run at the top spot.

Hunichen moved up into the top 10 based solely on a single qualifying cash. He finished third in the partypoker Heavyweight Title Fight Warm Up for $15,107.58 and 220.56 PLB points. This comes a week after he picked up 672.2 points from three qualifying cashes. He now sits just 148.21 points behind #8-ranked Robin ‘inhoo’ Ylitalo.

The #1 spot continues to belong to ‘C Darwin2‘, but he didn’t just sit idly by this past week. The Swede picked up four qualifying cashes – three wins and one runner-up finish – to pick up a staggering 1,457.78 points. On October 15, he won the partypoker High Roller for $37,884 and 452.22 points. Two days later he won another partypoker High Roller for $19,183/310.64 and finished runner-up in yet another partypoker High Roller for $17,440/232.32. His final qualifying cash on October 19 when he won the PokerStars Thursday Thrill for $38,537 and 462.2 points. He now has a 806.35 point gap between himself and #2-ranked Steven ‘SvZff’ van Zedelhoff.

That gap could have been wider had van Zedelhoff not picked up two qualifying cashes of his own. He finished third in the PokerStars Big $55 for $3,499 and 114.33 points and then capped off his week by finishing two spots behind ‘C Darwin2’ in the Thursday Thrill for $21,061 and 239.3 points. He now leads #3-ranked ‘lena900’ by 462.67 points.

Hunichen wasn’t the only player to move into the top 10 this week. Fabrizio ‘SixthSense19’ Gonzalez, also a former #1-ranked player, moved from #11 to #10 thanks to two qualifying cashes that earned him 267.17 points.

Laszlo ‘omaha4rollz’ Bujtas and Andras ‘probirs’ Nemeth were the two players who dropped out of the top 10, going from #10 to #12 and #9 to #14 respectively.
