The Sunday Briefing: Casey Jarzabek Makes Back-To-Back Sunday Million Final Tables

Mickey Doft Live Reporter

Jan 21, 2013 4 min read

A busy weekend on the virtual felt saw nine players earn six figures in tournament action. Leading the nine is PokerStars Sunday Million winner "stackarn" with $164,000 following a five-handed deal. Finishing third was Casey "bigdogpckt5s" Jarzabek, fresh off of a fourth-place finish in last week's Sunday Million. In addition, Jarzabek won the Super Tuesday less than two weeks ago.

Over at Full Tilt Poker, MiniFTOPS XXI concluded with Caio "Pessagno" Pessagno winning the Main Event for $120,270. He bested a final table that included Thiago "DecanoBR" Nishijima, Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah and Daniel "dDeoxyribo" Strelitz.

Others to score big on Sunday were Kevin "Civell" Vandersmissen, Grayson "swish3113" Ramage, Alex "AD_84" Debus, Brandon "oncommand" Meyers, and Pius "MastaP89" Heinz.
