The live tournament circuit was booming on Sunday with many top online players either in Montreal for the World Poker Tour or in Monaco for the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final. However, action on the virtual felts was busy as ever with PokerStars holding its usual slate of Sunday Majors and Full Tilt Poker offering its massive $1 Million Guaranteed MiniFTOPS Main Event.

Some big-name players made deep runs in the PokerStars Sunday Million this week. High-stakes regulars Keven "Stammdogg" Stammen and Tobias "PokerNoob999" Reinkemeier headlined the final table, and Stammen went on to chop the tournament heads up to collect a $178,791 payday. "Neeeeek" eventually defeated Stammen for the title and $200,000 prize.

Others collecting big scores on Sunday were Sebastian "p00cket00" Sikorski, Jason "NovaSky" Koon, James "croll103" Carroll, Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen, and William "Altrum Altus" Reynolds.
