Sunday Briefing

Full Tilt Poker's MiniFTOPS XIX concluded early Monday morning with the Main Event. Multi-entries once again resulted in the shattering of the guaranteed prize pool, which was set at $1,250,000. In the end, registration closed with a field of 45,232 and a prize pool of $3,166,240. A few notable players made deep runs, including Calvin "Cal42688" Anderson, Nick "FU_15" Maimone, and Jonathan "FatalError" Aguiar. When the dust settled, though, "KOMIJENDO" had emerged victorious for $396,578.78. A $1 Million Guarantee tournament also took place, with "NuggetMaster420" outlasting the field for an outright win worth $221,241.60.

On PokerStars, "kalmuka" won the Sunday Million for $234,574.03, after a six-handed deal had been reached. Also notching first-place finishes on Sunday were Chris "GypsieChris" Mitchell, Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick, and Shyam "S_Dot111" Srinivasan.
