It seems like the time for another big change in the poker ranking has come; the European winner of the previous period, “Kevster102” has taken the lead of the most competitive continental team inside the international online poker competition and has now advanced ten units over the former frontrunner’s score Miss “Alisje” who couldn’t keep the top spot more than a week. Nonetheless the Netherlands lady has made an incredible performance since she joined and the whole field knows she’s one to be aware of.
There’s a couple amazing cases that are the crumbling the ranking, the first is a 35 year-old German grinder who has gone up the ladder at a very fast pace: Simon A.K.A “elbcoasthengst” is now running 11th and just started making points several days ago. According to the information available about him, this participant is used to compete for big prizes and his biggest one ascended to $1250; let’s see if he can beat the sharks he’s going to find in these waters.
The other big surprise of the Period IV is the climbing of a Norwegian female competitor who plays under the name of “Triliro” as an acronym of her complete name. She is also taking a shot at the Team Europe’s ticket to the Eliminations and she looks with enough potential to complete this difficult task. Will the United Kingdom grinder leave an open spot which this exceptional player could use to take him down? “Triliro” has been seen at the tables of the OPWC accepted poker room PKR mostly at the 10-man tournaments averaging 2 units per game on the last 5 she has played. The movements on the scoreboard in the coming days are going to be critical and decisive as some of the top contestants might be reaching their 200 Sit n’ Go tournament limit for the running period; those who still have available games will be “playing with position” and the results they get could be enough to dethrone the current masters of the World Championship.
There are 15 members who have passed the 100 point mark and this great statistic represents not only the increasing level of the contest but also a true challenge for anyone who takes a shot at the World Title of online poker for SnG players. The $10.000 professional poker sponsorship is waiting in the end of the season for the lucky and skilled rounders who dominate the arena at the OPWC. Like things are right now, the ladies have made their best presentation since the Championship started (2nd, 3rd and 6th plus other appearances in the 21st, 23rd and 27th) let’s see what other big hits they are responsible for and witness while they try to crown themselves as the best of the planet.
The Australian and Colombian players have slightly faded but they still hold Top 10 spots; it is not clear whether they are going to add more points to their marks or not given they have been static for a couple weeks now. Have they run out of games? Are they waiting for the right moment to use their last bullets? Stay tuned to know who wins in the end and see if those who looked defeated at the moment suddenly come back from the ashes like a poker phoenix.
