PocketFives members took home 1st place finishes in 6 of 15 major tournaments over the weekend, led by HosniMubarak, who took down the Full Tilt Poker $750k Guaranteed for $136k. Mark dipthrong Herm (pictured) has had perhaps the most impressive four weeks of major tournament success in online poker history, and continued his amazing run by winning the PokerStars $250k ($500+30) for $91,500. Just one look at his Scouting Report is enough to make even the biggest names in online poker a bit envious -- a win in the Full Tilt $750k, another victory in the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan, 1st place in the Bodog $100k and his score on Sunday. Since July 13th he has cashed for over $300,000 in Sunday majors alone. PocketFives.com reporters caught up with Mark immediately after his fourth Sunday major victory in less than a month, and asked him about his latest win. He replied with, "I run better than anyone on the planet."

Joe ender555 Ebanks of Ohio made history this weekend by final tabling three majors. He placed 2nd in the Stars $250k for $66.7k, won the Absolute Poker Weekly $150k for $37,500 and took 5th in the UltimateBet $200k for another $11,000. Quaid745579 won the Full Tilt Sunday Brawl for $73,400 while xxd33pxx finished 1st in the UltimateBet $200k for $45,000. WSOP bracelet winner Matt mattg1983 Graham (pictured) took down the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance for $53k -- his third online cash for over $50,000 since May to go along with his $278,000 score at this year's WSOP. Only a few moments after his latest victory, Matt told P5's reporters, "[Winning another major tournament] feels great! I just hope I can keep this run going a while longer."

The final table of the PokerStars Sunday Million, which now boasts a $1.5 million weekly guarantee, attracted a crowd on the virtual rail as teenage poker phenom Andy McLEOD of Australia earned almost $76k for 4th place. CrazyZachary placed 5th for $59k. Sweden's Tomgus456 (best known for his $220,000 score in February in the Sunday Million) took home $38.5k for 4th in the Stars Sunday Warm-Up as Kameleont and cheddarmon finished 8th and 9th for $9,600 and $6,600 respectively. Alex AK87 Kim took 3rd in the Stars $250k for $50,000 on Sunday. Radford999 won $21k for 6th and Australian rkruok took home $16,300 for 7th.

Big name players were commonplace at the final table of the Stars $200 Sunday rebuy with Chris LUHMAN Martin earning $38k for 2nd place. World renowned bridge player (1982 New York Times article) Steve thorladen Weinstein received $28k for 3rd after taking down that same tournament in December, and Brian SN8WMAN Hawkins walked away with nearly $15k for 5th. SN8WMAN is sure to move up the Online Poker Rankings this week and is best known for his $278,500 cash for first place in the Stars Sunday Million in January. Brian began his online poker career with less than $20! Rising superstar FishOnTilt won $11.5k for 6th in the Stars $200 rebuy; edging out Sashi yoshdog22 Bobba who earned $9k for 7th. Panamatony made $6,400 for 8th and donkeygoesHEEHAW rounded out the final table in 9th; collecting $4,500.

Fishbones11 took home $30k upon placing 3rd in the Stars Sunday Second Chance; followed by Scott Papa Bull XL Flint, who added $15k to his online poker bankroll after taking 5th. Arvid received $12,300 for 6th and Kory s00tedj0kers Kilpatrick took 7th and $9,200. Ayodeji13 earned $6,800 for 8th place in that same tournament. No P5'ers were present at the PokerRoom $500k Guaranteed ChampionChip Final on Sunday, but PocketFivers still have a chance to win a Trip to Ibiza through our latest giveaway. Top 20 ranked Johan busto_soon van Til of The Netherlands took 7th place in the Titan Poker $250k Guaranteed on Sunday for $7,500. The Doyles Room $175k Guaranteed attracted over 1,300 players, with KenRetaard earning $11,400 for 4th place. Jiatong1211 took home $5,250 for 8th in the AbsolutePoker Weekly $150k.

Siola took 3rd in the Full Tilt $750k Guaranteed for $54k, followed by M_A_V who won $23,600 for 6th. PocketFiver 4Lisa pocketed nearly $14k for 8th. Canadian Ryan Gotskillz Fisler took 4th in the Full Tilt Sunday Brawl for $28k while marduk placed 6th for $14,600. Breeth earned runner-up honors in the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan; taking home $31,400 in the process. Sketchy1 earned $18k for 4th and Bsd80 won $5k after ending his tournament life in 8th place. Praschk outlasted 1,490 opponents on Sunday to place 4th in the PartyPoker $300k Guaranteed and winning $16,350.

The UltimateBet $200k Guaranteed final table was full of PocketFives.com members. Royalkc made $27k for 2nd, mendieta19 placed 3rd for $18,500 and t soprano took home $9k for 6th. Patrolman35 placed 7th in the UB $200k for $7,000. The Bodog $100k Guaranteed boasted another overlay of $28,000 on Sunday as sirstevie89 took 2nd place and $13,600 for his effort. Shawn phatcat Luman, winner of the inaugural Bodog Poker Open, made $9k for 3rd and iLLNuGWichee collected $7k for 4th. CapTinBisKuiT picked up $5,700 for 5th place followed by drexxel7, who was awarded $4,500 for 6th. Sumpas rounded out the Bodog $100k final table in 9th place for $1,300.
