Sunday Briefing: Greece’s “tzeskobar” Takes Down the Sunday Million
Greece’s “tzeskobar” was by far the biggest winner in online poker circles this weekend, walking away with the title of Sunday Million champion at PokerStars, a finish worth a colossal $149,645.28.
“tzeskobar” defeated Bernado “bedias” Dias heads up to prevent Dias from joining an elite group of players who have won online poker’s largest weekly tournament twice. Dias banked $105,014.21 for his runner-up finish, which is sure to soften the blow.
The Sunday Grand NLHE may have missed its guarantee this weekend, but there was still $275,000 up for grabs. The lion’s share of this impressive amount is now nestled in the PokerStars account of Adrijan “Adrijan_S” Siishtaj who topped a field of 265 players to get his hands on $52,879.12.
