The Sunday Briefing:

Over the weekend, partypoker held its largest event in over a year when it increased the guarantee of its Sunday Major from $200,000 to $500,000.

The $200 buy-in tournament, which was called the "$500K Guaranteed Special Event," attracted 3,057 runners, which surpassed the guarantee by creating a prize pool of $568,602. The event featured a minimum first-place prize of $100,000, though a heads-up deal between “sweetster” and “pablito_21” saw them take home $85,688.57 and $83,471.48, respectively.

Over on PokerStars, European Poker Tour Loutraki champion Zimnan “Zimmy86” Ziyard won $86,176.40 when he took down the Sunday 500. In addition, he also won a $55 NL Hold’em 2x Chance tournament at PokerStars for close to $16,000 which made it a nice Sunday for the popular pro.

Speaking of PokerStars, the 2014 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) with the SCOOP special editions of the Sunday Warm-Up and Sunday Million, both of which have plenty players still in contention and will determine a winner on Tuesday.
