‘Matze 90451‘ fought their way to the PokerStars $109 Sunday Million title and added another $107,737 to their bankroll, just a month after winning the PokerStars $215 Sunday Warm-Up.
The prize pool was set at $1,031,600 after the event attracted 10,316 entrants, and when the field was cut to the final three, ‘SG_Sergant‘ departed with the bronze medal for $55.692. ‘Boss BL‘ was then the final player to hit the rail for $77,457 following the heads-up battle, and was unable to prevent ‘Matze 90451’ from winning their second major PokerStars Sunday tournament in the space of just four weeks.
Newly crowned world ranked #1 Roman ‘Romeopro’ Romanovsky continued their rich vein of form in the online streets after he won the PokerStars $2,100 Sunday High Roller for $56,549. ‘bartek901‘ took third place from the 129 player-field for $33,497 before ‘RuiNF‘ succumbed to the pressure from the Ukranian Romanovsky and departed with $43,523 as runner-up.
‘anonymstruts‘ turned $530 into over $81,000 after victory in the PokerStars $530 Bounty Builder High Roller. An entrants total of 1,187 created a $593,500 prize pool and a $46,755 top prize. Brazil’s ‘fviana‘ exited in third place for $25,120 + $8,965 in bounties, which paved the way for heads-up. ‘anonymstruts‘ then won the final bounty battle and sent ‘Faiv‘ to the rail in second place for $34,271 + $7,287.
The PokerStars $215 Sunday Warm-Up saw a $217,000 prize pool created after 1,085 players took part, and when all was said and done it was ‘DonPiatniK‘ who claimed the glory. Czech Republic’s ‘LlKE A G6‘ went into the heads-up battle after ‘DonPiatniK’ after their fellow countryman ‘sksjohny‘ had departed in third place for $18,202, but the Czech was unable to hold out and was the final player to depart, banking $25,315, as ‘DonPiatniK’ claimed the $35,210 first-place prize.
Despite ‘POWERFEST‘ dominating the partypoker Sunday schedule, there were still opportunities to pick up big-money wins in some of the retained regular tournaments on offer. The UK’s Conor ‘ADRIEN_BRODY’ Beresford banked $20,390 after he came through a 196 player-field to win the partypoker $530 Sunday HR Clasico, and ‘HeavenlyFather‘ also secured a top spot with victory in the $530 Sunday High Roller Bounty Hunter for $13,290 + $15,955 in bounties, following a heads-up match against regular online attendee ‘Haddoken‘.
The partypoker $1,050 Sunday High Roller Terminator title worth $41,000 went to ‘rafaelmoraesgm‘ after they got the better of Latvia’s #1 ‘rudiqa1‘ heads-up. ‘MOTHERSMATTERS‘ took away $12,576 + $4,330 in bounties as the third-place finisher, with ‘rudiqa1’ banking $17,631 + $10,915 in second.
‘Kroat.‘ won the 888poker $530 $75,000 Rake or Break Whale for $15,750, following a heads-up deal with South Korea’s ranked #1 ‘NEONTIGER‘. The ‘Rake or Break‘ feature continued in the ‘Whale’ for the second week running and once again saw the players $30 registration fee returned after the prize pool failed to hit the guaranteed $75,000. After ‘SpitOnGraves‘ exited in third for $9,100, the final two agreed to a heads-up deal before ‘Kroat.’ went on the claim the top position.
GGPoker offered up two Sunday Blade $5k events to its player’s on Sunday and created combined prize pools worth $413,250.
‘OtterPop‘ defeated ‘PyramidOfSkulls‘ heads-up and bested a 40-player field for the $81,050 first-place prize, while ‘AceKing41‘ and ‘RuinF‘ made a heads-up deal worth $68,406, and $69,367 respectively in the second event of the day that attracted 47 entrants.
