We are officially in the home stretch for the month of May, as today marks the third to last day of the month, and we are very close to crowning the champion for the Ongame Leaderboard. But, there are a few days left, so we’ll take a look at today, May 29th. There has been a great deal of turbulence in the top 10 this month, outside of finnrene, who’s been leading all month long, looking to hold down the Ongame Leaderboard yet again, for the third month in a row. Thus far, finnrene has been extremely dominant over the past months, exhibiting some amazing consistency, just destroying the competition, no matter who goes up against him. If you’d like to take a look at any of the days preceding May 29th, be sure to head over to http://poker-network.flopturnriver.com/PokerNetwork-Ongame-Network.php and take a look by scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking the calendar and navigating through the month. Before we take a look at this week’s top 10, let’s take a look at last week.

1. finnrene 13683
2. -Rex Cramer- 13032
3. gnogno91 12082
4. donkualot 11144
5. iilimato12 10743
6. lindorf1988 9622
7. aruba36 8891
8. kitakami 8383
9. sannicolao 8114
10. raymond12345 7836

As we can see, finnrene held a 651-point lead as of May 22nd. Could he hold -Rex Cramer- and the rest back?

1. finnrene 17114
2. -Rex Cramer- 17056
3. gnogno91 16307
4. donkualot 13122
5. iilimato12 11830
6. sannicolao 11673
7. raymond12345 10999
8. timal xx 10767
9. kitakami 10205
10. rhumagricole 10156

Finnrene yet again is at the top of the head, but -Rex Cramer- has narrowed the gap considerably, down just 58 points, which is not insurmountable by any stretch of the imagination. These two players have been by far the best in the Ongame Leaderboard thus far, always finding their way to the top, with finnrene holding the advantage always, though. Granted, the other eight players are not out of it, but it seems that May has become a two horse race, with finnrene and -Rex Cramer- showing that they’re the best around. It is sure to be an exciting final two days, as the competition heats up in the quest for the Ongame Leaderboard.

Gnogno91 is still holding steady at 3rd, only 807 points behind finnrene. Gnogno91 will need some extreme luck to pull up ahead of finnrene, as there’s just not enough time left. However, he’s still made a great effort this month.

4th and 5th place also remain unchanged, as donkualot and iilimato12 are coming in at each spot, respectively. With them coming in steady, as well as finnrene, -Rex Cramer-, and Gnogno91, this marks the first time all month that the top 5 has remained unchanged from week to week. Quite the feat, given the inconsistencies within the top 10 up until now.

Sannicolao made an entrance last week in 9th, and has moved up nicely this week, clocking in at 6th. Raymond12345 is also making a nice little climb this week, coming in at 10th last week, and moving up to 7th this week. Kudos to both players.

Timal xx is one of two new entrants, this week, coming in at 8th. Kitakami suffered a small setback, moving down to 9th, from 8th last week. And rounding out the list this week is Rhumagricole, coming in 10th, as the second newcomer this week.

Only a few days remain in May, and next week we’ll take a look at who came out ahead, in the race between finnrene and -Rex Cramer-.
