It was kind of a quiet Sunday across the online poker world, as many of the top names in the game were still transitioning from stops overseas at the EPT San Remo and EPT Monte Carlo.

Dan "Wretchy" Martin had a solid day, however, taking down the second $100 rebuy on PokerStars after finishing runner-up in the first. Martin picked up a combined $89,500 for both scores and earned 1,080 Online Player of the Year points, moving him into fifth place.

With a win in the $200 rebuy, Steve "gboro780" Gross has taken the OPOY lead from Shaun Deeb, who held the top spot for over a month. Gross earned $41,000 for the win and now has a 224-point lead in the rankings.

Also at that final table was Aditya "Intervntion" Agarwal, who finished in fourth place. The score was enough to bump him into sixth place.
