The UK’s Jamie ‘Ship it 2010’ O’Connor topped a 1,184 player-field to bank over $84,000 in the PokerStars $530 Bounty Builder High Roller.

The latter was unable to get the better of the Brit and collected $34,184 + $12,216 as runner-up, as O’Connor secured the top prize.
‘fellatiado‘ defeated ‘69sBigLick‘ heads-up to win the PokerStars $215 Sunday Warm-Up for $32,681. A 997 player-field created a $199,400 prize pool with ‘rofllocktree‘ finishing in third place for $17,211. ‘fellatiado’ then came through the final battle to take the title, and ’69sBigLick’ took away $23,716 in second.

The guaranteed prize pool of $200,000 was met as exactly 200 entrants took part and when the field had been whittled down the final three, it was ‘Melania_Trump‘ who took the bronze position for $21,100. ‘RaiseYourEdge‘ Head Coach ‘Bencb789’ then secured his victory by sending ‘madgenius87‘ to the rail as runner-up for $29,600.
‘SpiritDNA‘ prevented Roman ‘SanityWaterline’ Romanovsky from achieving a 14th gold medal of 2019 after a heads-up battle in the partypoker $1,050 Sunday HR Bounty Hunter. ‘TullaMoreFan12‘ took third place from the 223 player-field for $12,806 + $6,601 in bounties, before current world ranked #2 Romanovsky just missed out on the win and exited in second place for $12,806 + $6,601, and saw ‘SpiritDNA’ bank $17,976 + $21,858 as the victor.
