While each of the four “regional” brackets in the #1 Number One contest is comprised of online poker’s all-time greats, the Diamonds bracket could easily be dubbed the “group of death”. Not only does it feature some of the most successful players to have ever reached #1 on PocketFives, but it also features some of […]

Just one week ago, ‘lean900’ took over the #1 spot in the PocketFives Rankings after a 12-week long reign by ‘C Darwin2’. That’s all part of the history books now as ‘C Darwin2’ jumped from the #3 spot back to the #1 spot thanks to a pair of qualifying cashes.

For 10 straight weeks Sweden’s ‘C Darwin2‘ held down the #1 spot on the PocketFives Rankings and fought off all of those who came calling for the crown.

The 2016 World Championship of Online Poker has most definitely hit the home stretch with just four days left of new events. Wednesday’s action included three players winning WCOOP titles for the first time in their careers and a Championship final table that was loaded with star power.

The one constant with the PocketFives Rankings the past 10 weeks has been the name at the top and the frequency at which the name in the #2 spot has changed. Sweden’s ‘C Darwin2’ has been #1 since July 6 and since then a handful of players have occupied the spot right behind him. For […]

For the ninth straight week Sweden’s ‘C Darwin2’ is sitting on top of the PocketFives rankings but if he’s not careful, he’s going to find two guys named Joao passing him by soon. ‘C Darwin2’ had just eight cashes over the last seven days and none were big enough to add to his lead. His […]

There was a lot of movement in the top 10 of the PocketFives Online Poker Rankings this week. What didn’t change, however, was the #1 ranked player in the world, ‘C Darwin2‘, who is enjoying his second straight week in the top spot.
