Phil Ivey (7) |
1 (1) |
After earning $25,000 for his Round
of 16 finish at the NHUPC, Ivey hopped on a plane and finished 30th at
the Aussie Millions main event for AU$35,000. Oh, and since he was able
to play online in Australia, he found his way online to earn $818,000 in
just three days. |
I know we can debate Ivey's presence
at be No. 1 here, but how can you really question his results? It seems
it's another month, another million. Rinse and repeat. (Feldman) |

Vanessa Selbst (2) |
2 (9) |
Won the $25,000 High Roller at PCA for $1.4 million. |
OK, so she ran pretty good in the
Bahamas. Still, few players put themselves in a position to run good as
much as Selbst does, and her climb to the top of the women's all-time
money list is certainly attributable to more than just run-good.

Phil Hellmuth (1) |
T-3 (5) |
Runner-up at the NHUPC for $300,000 and finished fourth in the $5,000 PLO event at PCA for $33,180.. |
Hellmuth just can't stop winning. He
narrowly missed out on becoming the first two-time National Heads-Up
champion after Mike Matusow edged him out in a gripping heads-up battle.

Dan Smith |
T-3 (2) |
Eliminated in the Round of 16 at the NHUPC for $25,000. |
The world will finally get a glimpse
of Smith's brilliance from his NHUPC appearance and quickly realize that
he'll be a player they'll get to know more about real soon. (Feldman) |
 |
Scott Seiver |
5 (NR) |
Won the $100,000 Super High Roller at PCA, then lost in the semi-finals of the NHUPC. |
Nothing like starting the new year off with a $2 million bink. (Ramsey) |
 |
Jason Mercier |
6 (4) |
Mercier was unable to find the money at PCA, but his solid Open Face Chinese game is keeping his bankroll strong. |
Mercier was the first player
eliminated from the Aussie Millions $250,000 Challenge. He last won a
tournament 13 months ago, #whenwillitend. (Mathers) |
 |
Marvin Rettenmaier (1) |
7 (3) |
Fifth in the Zoom Challenge at PCA for $4,140 and named the GPI Player of the Year. |
Rettenmaier said that the extensive traveling may have taken a bit out of him on a recent Poker Edge. After a year worth $2.5 million, he can have a quiet month. (Feldman) |
 |
Antonio Esfandiari |
8 (6) |
Eliminated in the Round of 16 at the NHUPC for $25,000. |
Picking up 2013 right where he left
off, Esfandiari had a strong showing in the NHUPC and continues to be
one of the most talented and entertaining players in the game. (Feldman)

 |
Michael Mizrachi |
9 (8) |
Four cashes in January including two final tables and a 77th-place finish in the PCA main event. |
Grinder's pattern continues. Win huge
event, get forgotten in these rankings, win another huge event.
Grinder's last win came in October … (Feldman) |
 |
Greg Merson |
10 (7) |
Merson didn't cash at PCA, but did pocket $24,170 in the cash games online over the past 30 days. |
Merson goes for mega-millions in Macau, will he swear off tournaments forever? (Mathers)
