Top 250 July Results: opal99 Snags First Place Away From MaximumShark

It's been an interesting month, with MaximumShark dominating our rankings until the final week. However, opal99 managed an impressive comeback and took the first place again.

The final results for July are finally here, so we now know the winners of the Top 250 and Top Ten Jackpot promotions.

Just like we previously mentioned, the best 10 PokerStrategists from our community will play to get a share of the $1,750 prize pool in July.

In case one of our community members has managed to be both amongst the best 250 players of the Top 250 promotion and the Top Ten Jackpot promotion, he or she will receive the higher prize of the two. The lower prize will go into our international jackpot.

It has been quite a race, with MaximumShark taking the lead early on and leaving the others way behind.

However, this was not enough for him to take the first place in the end, as opal99 worked his way up and eventually won the race in the last few days of the month.

opal99 finished the July race with 38,720 StrategyPoints, while MaximumShark ended up in second place with 38,663 StrategyPoints. Overall, they finished the race 41st and 42nd respectively.

Ranked third is smidlo, who managed to accumulate 22,024 StrategyPoints by the end of July, while TheLastNail has 18,386 StrategyPoints and thus takes the 4th place this month.

All in all, eight English PokerStrategists finished in the money this month, which is quite good - but we can do even better in August. Until the next results, let's look at our community's final standings for July:
