Top250 July: New Faces

Two new faces lead after the first week of July with PokerMasta and SPlayer18. The usual suspects are still hiding in the middle of the field of the $100,000 promotion.

Fixed Limit Mid Stakes player PokerMasta was able to get a slight lead after 8 days and 33,289 StrategyPoints. Currently, he is leading by almost 9,000 points.

PokerMasta's closest pursuer, SPlayer18, took a short break though and is still able to keep an eye on the $10,000 win bonus. With over 3,500 points on average in the first six days, he also had a great start. By the way, SPlayer18 plays SSS!

The further Top10 players are still close together - the way to the podium is as close as the one to the middle of the field of the promotion. Despite the good weather in Spain, emigrant and BlackMember TheJoker was able to gather 18,000 points. Boomslang, who finally managed to become a BlackMember as well, is still within touching distance to the $3,000 ranks starting at rank 8.

On the other hand, April- and June winner Dunebuggy is taking some time out and is currently only on rank 34 - but in the past he has been able to stage sensational comebacks. RiF and infinity1000 are not to be seen at all in the Top100 though.

The English community also has 4 members currently in the top250. undercover82 is currently just outside the top100 closely followed by swissmoumout and our two coaches helemaalnicks and Terroblade. Good luck to them in finishing under the top 100.
