With the 2013 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas now a thing of the past, online poker's heavy hitters were back in action Sunday for the full slate of tournaments at PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. It was business as usual for top pros like Yann "yadio1111" Dion, Francis "The Lab Rat" Anderson and João "joaobarb" Barbosa, all of whom scooped titles and big paydays.

Dion, coming off a deep run in the WSOP Main Event, won the Full Tilt $250K Guarantee for more than $52,000. Dion defeated tough British pro Tom "hitthehole" Middleton heads up for the title.

The biggest earner on Sunday was Luxembourg's "SoP8800" who took down the PokerStars Sunday Million for $204,243. German tournament grinder Mario "Pokerccini" Puccini also made that final table, finishing seventh for $29,541.

Here's a look at the results from the Sunday Majors at PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker:
