Top250 April: New record in sight!
While the BlackMembers and Diamonds were meeting in Hamburg, crazytalent delivered an incredible start for the month of April.
While he couldn't top the 48.360 StrategyPoints start by 
Nightfly, he did manage to secure a comfortable first place lead with 43.623 Points. This puts him into an excellent position to win the first place prize which is worth $10.000!
Will we once again have a month in which our leader breaks the 100.000 point border?
Next to crazytalent there was another surprise at the top of the rankings: second place is currently occupied by Arnfast, a SSS player from the French community. Only a few points behind in third place is 
schiep. Thanks to the new payout structure there is a further place on the podium which is currently occuipied by 
StarsAbove.

Since crazytalent still needs 100.000 SP to reach BlackMember-status StarsAbove is also the highest ranked Black Member.
In regards to BlackMembers: Here is a small overview of those 5 players which are currently closest to reaching the 500.000 Lifetime-SP border. Hopefully we will be able to greet a few new faces at our next BlackMember party.
benjo 493.403 SP
foofighter 481.582 SP
Shagg 477.274 SP
cycsam 474.188 SP
Boomslang 465.062 SP
Interesting for the Top250 is that once again we have an English community member who is competing in the top ranks. 
Phisherman is separated by less than 2.000 strategy points from the Top10 and currently 14th. In February he managed to finish in 15th place with a monthly total of 40.381 points. Will he be able to top his February achievement this month?

As some of you will have noticed, the ranking list is still restricted to the Top100. We will be correcting this during the course of the following days, so that you can also keep track of the remaining 150 places.
You can keep track of the current status via the Ranking-Page which will always inform you about the current standings. It is updated about once a week.
Attention: Currently the ranking list is still missing some points from PokerStars (one day) and Unibet (two days).
