The Sunday Briefing: Andriy "imperior" Pavlyuk Takes Top Sunday Prize

Mickey Doft Live Reporter

Apr 25, 2011 3 min read

As was the case last week, numbers in the Sunday online majors after Black Friday were down from what we have been accustomed to. Nevertheless, nine players added six figures to their bankrolls this weekend. The biggest went to Andriy "imperior" Pavlyuk, earning $205,500 for his win in Full Tilt Poker's FTOPS XX Event #24. The PokerStars Sunday Million was won by "VanDerPelto" for $131,000. A deal made heads-up with Peter "Belabacsi" Traply, though, left Traply with the biggest payday on PokerStars - $156,000.
