Even though the live poker scene has been buzzing with many big tournaments, it was another huge Sunday on the virtual felt as 12 players collected six figures for their efforts. The biggest was $201,940.54 and went to "Graftekkel" for a second-place finish in the PokerStars Sunday Million. The tournament was won by "klorinho1" for $172,400.82.

Over at Full Tilt Poker, the top prize went to Jason "Private ATM" Helder, winning the $750,000 Guarantee outright for $135,797.35. The MiniFTOPS continued with Event #24, a $30+$3 no-limit hold'em multi-entry affair that drew 33,051 entrants. The jersey was won by "FiskenPPP" $120,807.06. Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah made deep runs with two of his four entries, finishing in 13th and 35th place. Other Sunday winners include Anthony "wwwBTHEREcom" Gregg, Matthew "PokerSkiBum" Hankins, Dan "DNA2RNA" Hirleman, and Will "WILLY-RUGS" Failla.
