It was a great Sunday for the online poker community, the stars of which boasted numerous final-table finishes in some of the game’s most prestigious tournaments.
Over at PokerStars, the action kicked off with the Sunday Warm-Up. James "mig.com" Mackey (pictured right) lost heads up to Buton77, but still pocketed $78,354.
Jamie "TheCronic420" Rosen continued his recent hot-streak by taking fourth in the bigger $100 rebuy, and Russell "rcrane082985" Crane cashed for $21,411 for winning the 2R/1A tournament shortly thereafter.
The Sunday 500 final table was stacked with pros, including eventual winner Joey Capp, who took home $91,250. Isaac "westmenloAA" Baron and Mike "WiscoMurray" Murray finished in third and fourth, respectively.
While the big main event was still running, J.C. "0verTheTop42" West was scoring for $50,081 for taking down the Sunday Second Chance.
Finally, nearly 11 hours after it began, Carter "ckingusc" King took down the Sunday Million for $193,697. This was King’s second major tournament victory after becoming the 2008 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) main-event champion.
At Full Tilt, the action was just as exciting. Full Tilt pro Stuart Paterson finished third in the Sunday Brawl, cashing for $41,748.
Jason "JCarver" Somerville continued his winning ways with a $19,806 score in the $50,000 guarantee, and Thierry "bokpower" Van Den Berg (pictured left) won $57,244 for winning the Sunday Mulligan.
The $200,000 guarantee rebuy featured a strong final table including winner Corey "comandr_cool" Burbick, who won $70,725, and red name pro Michael Tureniac, who took third.
The $750,000 guarantee clocked in at just under 10 hours to crown a champion by the name of PureLuck132. The unknown player banked $139,019 for taking out the field of 3,926.
