The Sunday Briefing: Marty “TheLipoFund” Mathis and Alex

Many of poker's top online grinders have made their way to Las Vegas for the 2013 World Series of Poker, but the action was still lively across PokerStars at Full Tilt Poker on Sunday. The PokerStars Sunday Million easily surpassed its guarantee as 6,733 players generated a prize pool of more than $1.3 million. "ATHIED87," a former champion of Full Tilt Poker's flagship Sunday Major, took down the Sunday Million after a heads-up deal with "Donkab0mber."

Among the notables who locked up big scores on Sunday were Matthias “mattidm” de Meulder, Nick "FU_15" Maimone, Stefan "YrrsiN" Huber, Marty “TheLipoFund” Mathis, Stefan "YrrsiN" Huber and Alex "dynoalot" Difelice.
