Phil Ivey jumped onto the first position from last week’s fifth place. He is currently grinding at the Triton Poker Series London 2023. He made headlines by registering two final table finishes at $40K NLH Mystery Bounty, wherein he missed the title after finishing second for ₹434,900, and then at $60K NLH 7-Handed, cashing $363,000 for his sixth place finish.
The WSOP 2022 Main Event champion, Espen Jorstad, caught everyone’s attention once again after taking down the $40K NLH Mystery Bounty event. In the process, he beat several poker veterans, including Phil Ivey, the GOAT himself, in the heads-up. Jorstad jumped from his 76th position last week to his second position this week.
Fedor Holz, too, stayed in the trend due to the Triton Poker Series London 2023. He topped the $25K NLH 7-Handed event, claiming a Triton Poker title for $609,853. He also cashed at 17th place at the $60K NLH 7-Handed event for $98,000. He ranked 12th last week, and leaped to the third this week.
