If the guarantees are not enough action, check out the leaderboard. Over the past week there has been a ton of movement over the High, Medium and Low leaderboards.
The Low leaderboard saw the runner up from week 1, ‘BeardOilGuy’ jump over the competition to claim the top spot by a mere 31 points over second place ‘goosebumps4’, who maintained his position from the previous week. Week 1’s leader, ‘Kong Fuzi’ and last week’s leader, ‘Big Bluff’, fell to 11th and 7th respectively and are now over 200 points back.
The Medium leaderboard has seen ‘Joao Simoa’ continue to lead the pack. While his lead has diminished, he is still over 200 points ahead of second place and 350 over third.
The High and Super High Leadboard again had a lot of movement. The week 1 leader, ‘Wei Zhao’ has continued to drop and now finds himself down to 83rd while ‘rivfun4me’, who dropped to 11th after last week, maintained his position. The steadiest of the top 3 from week 1, ‘danludan’, continued to keep his position in the top 3 and closed the gap at the top of the leaderboard. Last week’s leader, ‘ Chris Rudolph’, lost his top position and dropped to second behind the current leader ‘Amichai Barer’. With the top 3 on this leaderboard separated by less than 25 points there is sure to be a lot of excitement and movement over the last 9 days of the online poker series.
