It finally happened. After months of chasing, grinding, and podium-stacking, WoO has dethroned JAR444 for the #1 spot on TournyTrack. Meanwhile, off the felt, Phenom Poker dropped one of its biggest platform updates ever—migrating the $PHNM token to Base and launching a live DEX pool on Aerodrome. Let's break down a massive week: February 2nd through February 8th, 2026.
The Headline: WoO Is Your New #1
Last week, JAR444 held the top spot by a comfortable 11.32 rating points. This week? WoO leads by 55.78 points. That's a swing of nearly 67 rating points in seven days.
| Stat | WoO (#1) | JAR444 (#2) |
|---|---|---|
| Ability Rating | 2,009.30 | 1,953.52 |
| Tournaments | 576 | 539 |
| Net Profit | -$459.22 | +$2,877.58 |
| ROI | -1.43% | 19.35% |
| 1st / 2nd / 3rd | 67 / 78 / 60 | 40 / 56 / 48 |
| ITM% | 18.89% | 22.10% |
The fascinating part? WoO actually had a losing week on the felt—19 tournaments, -$926.07 in profit. But the ability rating system rewards deep runs and tough-field survival, and WoO's relentless volume (576 lifetime tournaments now) has finally tipped the scales. Meanwhile, JAR444 played a more selective 15 events, banking +$372.88 with 4 podiums including a runner-up in a freeroll and a 3rd in the ♦ NLH / PLO ♦ Diamond for $380.
The question everyone's asking: is this a permanent changing of the guard, or will JAR444 mount a counterattack?
PHNM Day: A New Era for Phenom Poker
Beyond the tables, this was a landmark week for the Phenom platform. $PHNM Day arrived, bringing the biggest structural change since the token launched.
What Happened
The $PHNM token has been migrated from Polygon to a brand new contract on Base. Every holder's balance was snapshotted and automatically dropped into their wallet on the Base network. If you're using the Phenom Wallet, your tokens are sitting in a new wallet address tied to your account—check the new dashboard at token.phenompoker.com to view them.
What's New
- Staking is live. Choose between a Hard Lock (pick your weeks, get a corresponding multiplier) or the Escalator for flexible staking. Manage everything from the Portfolio tab.
- Swap directly from the dashboard. Buy or sell the PHNM/USDC pair right inside the token dashboard, powered by Aerodrome.
- PHNM pool is live on Aerodrome, the native DEX of Base. Initial liquidity was seeded at 1.08 USDC/PHNM, with all earned trading fees being added back to the pool.
The Reload Bonus
To celebrate, Phenom is running a 150% Reload Bonus with code LIQUID. If you've been waiting to top up your account, the timing doesn't get much better.
Important note: Your token wallet address is different from your Player Wallet—do not send deposits to the token address. And if you're using an external wallet, make sure you've enabled Base Network.
This is a pivotal moment for the platform. For the first time, $PHNM trades on the open market. Whether you're staking for the multiplier, providing liquidity, or just watching from the rail, the game has changed.
Cash Game Leaderboard: lepu4ka Grinds to the Top
The cash game crown this week belongs to lepu4ka, who put together a classic volume-meets-skill performance across 137 sessions.

The Cash Grinder Badge
The volume milestone tells the real story: lepu4ka earned the Cash Grinder badge on February 5th, hitting 500 career sessions. Combined with the Weekly Winner badge, this is a player who's been putting in the work for months and finally strung together a dominant stretch.

A single heater on one day produced a $14,696.26 win that would make most players' entire month. dreamer1 also unlocked both the $1K and $10K Cash Game Profit badges this week—going from zero to hero in the span of days.
elsicario666 Joins the $50K Club
elsicario666 continued their relentless mid-stakes grind with 87 sessions and +$14,953.47 for the week. The bigger story? On February 9th, elsicario666 crossed the $50,000 career cash game profit threshold, earning the coveted $50K badge. Last week they were chasing WWSF53 for the weekly crown. This week, they're stacking hardware.
The $26,659 Monster
Buried in the leaderboard at #10 is Icymorning with a $6,533.96 week—but don't let the final number fool you. Icymorning booked a jaw-dropping $26,659.88 single session win, the biggest individual cash game result of the week. The flip side? A -$10,773.49 loss on the other end. High-stakes poker: it giveth, and it taketh away.

WoO's ascent to #1 is the headline, but the rest of the top 5 is fascinating in its own right. kingIvey holds steady at #3 with the best net profit among the leaders ($9,726.03), while nft at #4 continues to prove that 183 tournaments with a 25.75% ROI and $7,486 profit is one of the most efficient runs in TournyTrack history.

PPussLover69 Ships Another Diamond
On February 2nd, PPussLover69 took down the ♦ NLH 6max ♦ Diamond event for $1,750 (+$1,150 profit) in a 4-player field.
| Stat | PPussLover69 |

| 1st Place Finishes | 15 |
The numbers are absurd. 15 wins in 37 tournaments. A 106% ROI. Over $11,500 in profit. The sample size is small, but when you're converting over 40% of your entries into wins, the results speak for themselves. PPussLover69 plays almost exclusively Diamond events—high risk, high reward, and so far, all reward.
Sodasoccer's Steady Grind
The ever-present Sodasoccer quietly put together another strong week: +$1,426.85 across 20 tournaments with 8 podiums.
Highlights included a 3rd in the ♦ PLO6 ♦ Diamond (+$206.89), shipping a Big O event ($252.28), and a 2nd-place in Badeucy. With 507 career tournaments and 133 podiums (52 wins, 43 seconds, 38 thirds), Sodasoccer is the definition of consistency. Not flashy, just profitable—43.44% ROI over half a thousand events.
More Tournament Highlights
babadroga's $2,250 Score
babadroga only played 2 tournaments this week, but one of them was a runner-up finish in the ♦ NLH 250 ♦ Diamond on February 8th, collecting $2,250 (+$1,500 profit). With a career 45.25% ROI and $6,678.45 in profit across 129 tournaments, babadroga is proving that you don't need volume to build a bankroll.
nft Ships Two, Chases the Top 3
nft had another productive week: 16 tournaments, +$477.19 in profit, and 5 podium finishes. The headline was shipping the ♦ PLO Mix ♦ Diamond on Feb 6th for $430.13 and the ♦ NLH 100 ♦ Diamond on Feb 7th for $1,000. At $7,486.29 career profit with only 183 tournaments, nft remains one of the most efficient players on the platform.
Dmmoose Takes 2nd at Fun Fridays
Dmmoose fired 11 tournaments and came away with a +$241.81 week, highlighted by a 2nd-place finish in the ♦ Fun Fridays ♦ Diamond for $400.

havuuuuc Stays in the Mix
The legend havuuuuc played 10 events this week for +$270.46 in profit, shipping the Triple Draw Mix on Feb 3rd for $567.01 and finishing 3rd in ♦ The Deuce 222 ♦ Diamond for $545.45.

Looking Ahead
Between the leaderboard shake-up and the PHNM migration to Base, this might be the most consequential week in Phenom Poker history. The platform is evolving—$PHNM is now tradeable on a DEX, staking offers real multipliers, and the poker action continues to intensify.
Questions to watch:
- Can JAR444 reclaim the #1 spot, or has WoO built an insurmountable lead?
- Will king153246 crack the top 10 on TournyTrack this month?
- How does the $PHNM DEX listing affect the ecosystem? Will staking multipliers incentivize long-term holding?
- Can PPussLover69 sustain a 106% ROI as the sample grows?
- Who's next to join the $50K cash game club after elsicario666?
The grind never stops. And now, neither does the token. See you at the tables.
