RiF retains the lead
After half of May, RiF is still in front – with a decent gap. But also April's winner made a leap forward.
The edge still looks comfy – 
Dunebuggy trails by more than 30,000 StrategyPoints. But in April he showed what he's capable of: With over 162,000 StrategyPoints he secured first place and was thus the first person to claim the $10,000 of the ramped up Top250 promotion for himself.

In the previous week, Dunebuggy didn't even show up in the Top10 yet – so he really had a terrific week! Is he able to compromise RiF's seemingly invulnerable lead, or will he have to settle for $4,000 less?

As gotthebigfish
not only lost his second place but even collected less than 1,000 StrategyPoints since the last update, things look rather close again behind him. Immediately four BlackMembers (Shagg is not only a PokerStrategy coach!), as well as one of the two Top10 newcomers – kingpowl – are within striking distance of ranks 3 and 4, each worth $4,000.

This year we already distributed $340,000 amongst our top players. This month's Top250 will receive another $100,000 – so in 2008 we will divide promotion money worth way over $1 million to the creme of our community.
