Top 250 September: Standings at half-time

Half-time has come in our Top250 promotion of September - after 14 days, Black Member Caber is still leading the international rankings, meanwhile smidlo has taken the lead in the English rankings.

The September race is now half-way through and we are again offering $100,000 to the top 250 players in our rankings.

Just like last month, whoever finishes first in the international rankings will receive an impressive $10,000 prize.

smidlo takes the lead in the English rankings

After two weeks of play in September, smidlo has taken the leading position with 15,983 StrategyPoints, meanwhile zivkoleo has dropped down to second place and currently has 13,827 StrategyPoints.

Dangerously close behind in third place is opal99 with 13,574 StrategyPoints. We can also see that TwiceT and swissmoumout are not that far behind either, holding 12,011 and 10,120 StrategyPoints respectively.

International rankings: Caber still in the lead

The last update to the rankings has just come in, so we can finally present you the data as of the 14th of September. As usual, all PokerStrategists are competing for a prize pool of $100,000 in this month's Top 250 promotion, with a whole $10,000 going to the winner.

So far, it still looks like Caber will come out on top for the fourth time this year. He's holding on to the pole position with an effort of 68,754 points. Right behind him, two Diamonds seem to be determined to make their way into the top 3.

CentralDivine has already achieved 58,022 points, trailing Caber by a mere 10,000 points, while Ganstarapper was able to accumulate close to 50,000 points during the first half of the month. In case both of them are able to defend their position, they will take down $6,000 for second and $4,000 for third place.

In the following, you can find the standings of the Top 10 promotion as of September 14th:
