Who is The #1 Number One Ranked Online Poker Player of All Time? – PocketFives

Though tens of thousands of players have made their way into the PocketFives Rankings since the website launched in 2005, just 60 different players have climbed to the top and held the #1 spot.

This list of players who have been #1 includes some of the most respected and feared players in the game, spanning multiple eras of online poker. Theres no doubt that these 60 players are all great but who is the greatest #1 of all time? Its a question thats never been asked.

Until now.

The PocketFives #1 Number One is a single elimination tournament with all 60 former #1s. All players were seeded and placed in the bracket based on how many times they hit #1, how long they held onto the top spot, their career online earnings, and how many Triple Crowns they have won.

We wanted to give poker players and fans the opportunity to have their say in who they think is the greatest online poker tournament player of all time, said PocketFives President and Editor in Chief, Lance Bradley.
