g is the smallest gap which has the first occurrence from p to p+g.
Below are results from an exhaustive search for g < 3*10^10.

The two last "champions" (larger p than any smaller g) are:
1877 3220560764
2239 5880449914

5880449914 requires 45 more primes than the previous champion.
A surprisingly large jump, still unbeaten at 3*10^10.
