In ESPN’s latest monthly rankings of the top 10 poker players, Phil Ivey has maintained his position at the top of the heap. In the March installment of “The Nuts”, the ESPN team rates the best players “of the moment”. Yes, long-term legacy plays a factor, but just as important is recent results.
Phil Ivey is firmly in the #1 position, with his most recent success a second round result at the recent National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Jason Mercier is in the #2 position, having topped off a long run of recent success with a $141,780 cash for his third-place finish at the L.A. Poker Classic event. And #3 in this month’s ranking goes to Tom “durrrr” Dwan, who’s only won about $2.7 million in the last month or so playing online poker.
Rounding out the top 10 are:
#4 - Daniel Negreanu
#5 - Patrik Antonius
#6 - Yevgeniy Timoshenko
#7 - Daniel Alaei
#8 - Eric Baldwin
#9 - Cole South
#10 – Scott Seiver
