The tourney scene has shifted, due to many of the sites pulling out of the US market, but there is still plenty of action to be found on Sundays.  The PokerStars Sunday Million had over 6,000 entrants this week, giving it as juicy a prizepool as ever, and their Second Chance tournament also had a prizepool well over $200k.  Full Tilt had a $500k Guaranteed tournament this weekend, and participation was up in the Bodog $100k.

Divingduck (pictured) was at the final table of the latter, a final table he's frequented over the last year and a half.  He finished 6th for $4,400.

In the Full Tilt tourney, well known PokerStars winner copi took first prize for a hefty $126k.  Chucksty, who plays there as blackmetalhead, took 5th in the event for $35k, and DoggerPA finished 6th for $25k.  Another top big tournament player from Stars made a big score on his usual site.  UGOTPZD took third in the Sunday Million, which was worth over $55k.

A few other scores on PokerStars were worthy of note.  Hixx was the 5th place finisher in the Second Chance $200, which paid out $10k.  Mig.com  and lucky seven took second and third in the $200 rebuy.  THE__D__RY was also at the final table, finishing 9th.  In the big Sunday $100 rebuy, apestyles took third place while PearlJammer squeaked into the final table in 9th.
