There have been no changes to the top five spots on the leaderboard in the past two weeks.

Russia’s hellohellohello (23,840.61) stays in third place, but he did close the gap a bit between himself and ‘C Darwin2.’ November has been good to ‘hellohellohello’ so far, as he’s notched two scores of more than $20,000. The first of the two came in the PokerStars $2,100 Sunday High Roller on November 4 for $20,587.78. The second was a victory in the partypoker BIG Bounty Hunter High Roller for $23,446.15.

Rounding out the top five spots in the PocketFives 2018 PLB are two players who are no strangers to the top of this race, Roman ‘Romeopro’ Romanovsky (21,678.21) and Ramiro ‘Ramiro’ Petrone (20,526.95). The ground Romanovsky is standing on in fourth place is getting a little shaky, though. He has no recorded results since September 30 and Petrone is grinding hard to try and move up.

Then just outside of the top five is Latvia’s DamageAP (20,407.91), just 119.04 points behind Petrone.
