It’s going to be a happy holiday season for Dario Sammartino who, in his seventh trip to a GGPoker Super MILLION$ final table, took down this week’s $10K tournament for his first Super MILLION$ title, a World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring, and the $740,917 first-place prize.

Perhaps lost in the shuffle of a bundle of wins by high-stakes pros over the weekend was a victory by Montreal’s Marc-Andre Ladouceur (pictured) in the PokerStars Sunday 500. He outlasted fellow pro David donkcommitedMiscikowski after a heads-up chop and earned $59,000 to Miscikowski’s $60,000. Ladouceur plays on PokerStars under the user name FrenchDawg.
