It’s time for another Bodog Poker Leaderboard update. We’re now past the midpoint of October, which means that the monthly standings will be fairly well established and we are starting to have an idea of who will end up in the top 30 for the October race. Let’s take a closer look.

First off, here were the top three of the weekly leaderboard from last week:

1. boondock11 – 1811 pts
2. shawncarter – 1595 pts
3. WillyNilly – 1563 pts

Although he lost the lead the day after I wrote about this leaderboard last Friday, boondock11 was able to regain the top spot and finish the week in 1st place. His prize was the chance to play a Bodog pro heads-up for $1,000. shawncarter kept his 2nd place spot for the rest of the week and finished 216 points behind boondock11, and WillyNilly moved up 6 spots from last week to finish in 3rd and round out the top 3 for the week.

Let’s move on to the current week. Here is the newest weekly leaderboard top ten:

1. willedtowin – 1690 pts
2. grewsum2sum – 1671 pts
3. thrtyftj – 1190 pts
4. RICHA63 – 1167 pts
5. papastacks – 1142 pts
6. andyvanslyke – 1074 pts
7. quietwinner – 1038 pts
8. Dannenmann – 1012 pts
9. scunyun – 990 pts
10. UFgator83 – 954 pts

willedtowin has a small lead over grewsum2sum and is currently in 1st place. I haven’t seen much of willedtowin on the top ten of these leaderboards, but I can tell you that he sits in the top 17% percent of all Bodog leaderboard players. He has been in the top ten for the week for 10 days out of the past month. grewsum2sum has yet to win a leaderboard on my watch, but he has showed up in the top ten a lot more the last few weeks. thrtyftj, the 3rd place player, has not been in the top ten of these standings very often and I have no idea who he is. He is almost 500 points behind grewsum2sum, so it is highly doubtful that he will crack the top 2 in these standings. He will have to work hard to keep 3rd place, too – less than 250 points separates him and 10th place!

As I said earlier, the monthly leaderboard is over halfway in, so the standings are becoming very interesting! Here is the current top ten:

1. willedtowin – 3542 pts
2. whatever877 – 3324 pts
3. Swany420 – 3164 pts
4. grewsum2sum – 3125 pts
5. Troy111 – 3091 pts
6. andyvanslyke – 2851 pts
7. papastacks – 2835 pts
8. WillyNilly – 2809 pts
9. RICHA63 – 2781 pts
10. CK3 – 2765 pts

willedtowin’s great past week has obviously done him very well – he is up 11 spots from last week’s 12th to 1st this week. whatever877 increased his point total by almost 1,000 and kept his 2nd place spot, and Swany420 moved down a couple spots from 1st to 3rd place. grewsum2sum had an awesome past week (also shown by this week’s weekly standings), moving up a whopping 48 points from 52nd last week to 4th this week! Troy111 made a slight move up from 6th to 5th. andyvanslyke, a good player who won a weekly leaderboard back in April this year, makes a reappearance on these leaderboards, cracking the top ten this time in 6th place. Then we have papastacks, WillyNilly, RICHA63, and CK3 to round out the top ten. WillyNilly and CK3 are both awesome tournament players and they have more than enough potential to climb to the top of these standings before the month is over.
