We kick off with KingPaulie who took down $4343 in the 109$ No Limit Turbo, taking down a tough field of 202 players.
Mstark87 this fortnight continued to crush the tournaments on Carbon Poker (CrazyPakeha). Taking down an exceptional 5 tournaments (and 3 runner-up performances)! Rather than go through them, we will simply list them:

SiacO took down one of the few tournaments on Stars that does not have a guarantee winning the $109 No Limit Holdem tournament that still managed a $9800 prize pool taking home $2450 defeating the 98 players.
In what is quickly coming a pattern, Snowman888 put up multiple victories again, this time taking 2 tournaments down on TitanPoker (playing as Houusnurhh). Winning the $1000 GP Freeze earned him $310.55 in the 135 player field. Taking down $3000 GP R/A earned him a nice, $705.63, nice return on the $5 entry.
And new entrant into the top 10 revengaa, who put in significant volume came out with a bang, putting in some epic volume, which resulted in four wins in the last two weeks, including three in one day on Pokerstars! Once again let’s see them in a list!

| $4k Gtd NLHE 360 Cap | $16.50 | 360 | $1104.30 |

Current Top 10 in New Zealand
The top 10 this week saw the addition of revengaa who joined P5’s two weeks ago but has been playing the micro – mid MTT’s since mid-2010, and slots into 8th place. There were some small changes in the rankings, with emufart69 having the largest fall of 3 places, in saying that he has not put in significant volume as of late. With mstark87 putting up so many victories, will he be able to break into the top 2 in the coming weeks?
New Zealand maintained its ranking of 30th in the Country rankings.
