Online Poker -- OPOY Update, April 17, 2009

There were two new faces to the Online Player of the Year top 10, which, of course, meant that two players were bumped out. Continue reading below to find out how the best players in the game performed this week.

It was a bittersweet week for OPOY leader Shaun "tedsfishfry" Deeb (pictured right). Deeb was able to finish second in the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) event No. 20 for $90,337, but unfortunately did not pick up any points because the field only had 99 players. He was, however, able to put some distance between himself and second-place resident Steve "gboro780" Gross with a win in the $100 rebuy.

Chris "Moorman1" Moorman had a chance to actually take the lead from Deeb this week when he final-tabled the high-stakes SCOOP main event. Moorman fought on the short stack for quite some time before eventually fizzling out in eighth place, good for $112,950.

Unknown player frtk had a quiet week and dropped down to fourth place.

Aditya "Intervention" Agarwal earned 400 points this week with a runner-up finish in the Full Tilt $1K Monday, but he still sits in fifth place, just four points ahead of Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen.

Rasmussen had a great week, moving from eighth to sixth thanks to a third-place finish in SCOOP event No. 21 and fifth-place finish at UltimateBet's $200,000 guarantee.

Jonathan "shipitobv" Delong was another player with a bittersweet week. Delong came into the second day of the high-stakes SCOOP main event with the chip lead, but couldn't manage more than an 11th-place finish. He did make up for it with a win in the PokerStars Super Tuesday for $69,420.

Eighth and ninth place belong to newcomers Nick "FU_15" Maimone (pictured left) and Jason "NovaSky" Koon. Maimone won the Wednesday Quarter Million on PokerStars to jump into the top 10, but also has 15 final tables on the year, as well. Koon has done well at the various majors, taking down the $1K Monday, the Sunday Mulligan, and SCOOP event No. 17.

Mohsin "chicagocards1" Charania actually picked up 184 points this week, yet still dropped four spots to 10th place in the rankings.

Adam "Roothlus" Levy and Jay "SEABEAST" Kinkade dropped out the rankings.

Here is a look at the top 10.
