SUNDAY MAJORS: Vaillancourt, Delgado Book Victories on PokerStars

PocketFives members had a considerable amount of success in major online poker tournaments over the weekend, as the PokerStars Sunday Million was won outright by ‘thx4urm0n3y‘ who collected $145,741 followed by ‘tomc1s‘ who finished runner-up for $102,279. Relatively unknown Brazilian Neoriel Oliveira took home a career-best $71,776 for his third place performance in that tournament, which more than doubles his previous online earnings.
Noah ‘dirty.brasil’ Vaillancourt of Canada (ranked #217 worldwide) took down the Stars Sunday Warm-Up and walked away with $59,190 as ‘Gabrielmv96‘ received $42,227 for second place. Current #89-ranked Vicente ‘vicenfish’ Delgado of the United Kingdom came out on top in the $1,050 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Sunday Grand for a score of $56,741 while #9-ranked Andreas ‘r4ndomr4gs’ Berggren of Sweden was awarded $42,487 for the runner-up slot. Leo ‘ISILDRooN’ Nordin of Sweden was victorious in the Pot Limit Omaha version of that event, winning $33,645.
There was a three-way final table chop in the Sunday Supersonic on PokerStars, as ‘bossamtisch‘ took home the largest payout of $29,062 for an official third place finish. Nearly 30,000 players entered the Sunday Storm, which was won by ‘betorjbrazil‘ outright for $29,995.
Partypoker player ‘JETFIRE68‘ won the prestigious $2,600 buy-in Super High Roller event Sunday for a payout of $54,653. ‘AllinIvey1‘ placed second in that tournament for $37,168. The $530 buy-in version of that event was won by ‘anthal‘ for $39,181.
‘MOI_est_JEAN‘ was the winner in the $600 buy-in WHALE event on 888 Poker and ‘TianWangXing‘ earned the victory in the Mega Deep. #29-ranked online poker superstar Juan Paolo ‘joaosimaobh’ Simao also managed to pull off a rare feat over the weekend by reaching the final table of three major online poker tournaments.
