The World Series of Poker is just a few days away and this week’s Poker Central Power Rankings are heavily influenced by Poker After Dark, the Triton Super High Roller Series, and one particular gentleman getting married while the other released his Master Class! Let’s dive in!

The Poker Central Power Rankings are voted on each week by five-panel members who use their own criteria to determine player relevance leading to a list of 25 players that score points from 65 down to 1. The criteria loosely include player results, social media influence, some good ol’ drama or other things of note that make ear perk up and our eyes grow bigger. Got beef with our decisions on a week-to-week basis? Hit us up on @PokerCentral on Twitter and jump into the conversation.

Read up on the previous weeks: Week 19 – Week 17 – Week 16 – Week 15 – Week 14 Week 12 – Week 11 – Week 10

Last week This Week
Bryn Kenney 1 1

Big results and another week at the top on the Power Rankings for Bryn Kenney! It’s tough to say whether Kenney will be putting in the work during the WSOP given that he’s already won more than $9 million in 2019 alone, but a bracelet or two in some of the biggest events would not come as a surprise!

Last week This Week
Dan Cates 2 2

After some beer pong with Tom Dwan, a naked video with models and plenty of other fun activities, Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates was back to his winning tournament ways on one of the closing days of the Triton Super High Roller Series to stay in second place on the rankings.

Last week This Week
Mikita Badziakouski 27 8

No matter how you spell his name, sometimes you just gotta put some respect on it! Currently ranked 15th on the all-time money list with a staggering $24.4 million in earnings, Badziakouski added to that total in impressive fashion in Montenegro by cashing for $2.8 million across three cashes. The Belarusian is now up to six seven-figure scores in just two and a half years.

Last week This Week
Maria Ho 3 9

Maria Ho just down to ninth on the Power Rankings, her lowest rank in nearly two months! Ho is getting ready for the World Poker Tour final table at the HyperX Esports Arena next week that could turn into the biggest score of her career! Go Maria Go!

Last week This Week
Sam Greenwood 21 10

Just like how we gotta put some respect on Badizakouski’s name, the same can be said for Sam Greenwood! Greenwood is up to second on Canada’s all-time money list with $18.5 million in career earnings after three cashes worth nearly $2 million. Greenwood is up to $5.7 million for the year, eclipsing last year’s total when he set a career best.

On The Bubble

Missing out just barely on the Top 10 are Ronnie Bardah, who went on Survivor, Chris Moorman, Daniel Dvoress, Craig Varnell, Ben Lamb, and Joey Ingram.
