    New data for the diffractive reaction p+N→[ΣoK+]+Np+N \rightarrow [\Sigma^oK^+]+N at EpE_p=70 GeV were obtained with partially upgraded SPHINX setup. The data are in a good agreement with the results of our previous study of this reaction. In the mass spectrum M(ΣoK+)M(\Sigma^oK^+) a structure at the threshold region with a mass ~1810 MeV and a distinct X(2000)X(2000) peak with M=1989±6M=1989\pm6 MeV and Γ=91±20\Gamma=91\pm20 MeV are observed. Unusual features of the massive X(2000)X(2000) state (narrow decay width, anomalously large branching ratio for the decay channel with strange particle emission) make it a serious candidate for cryptoexotic pentaquark baryon with hidden strangeness ∣qqqssˉ>|qqqs\bar s>. We also present new results on the narrow threshold structure X(1810) with M=1807±7M=1807\pm7 MeV and Γ=62±19\Gamma=62\pm19 MeV which is produced in the region of very small PT2<P^2_T<0.01 GeV2^2. The possibility of the Coulomb production mechanism for X(1810) is discussed
