Another Sunday came and went, and we have another impressive list of scores for the Pocketfives community. Two of the Sunday majors were won by community members this week. Doctor_Fun took first place in the Sunday Second chance on PokerStars and Braien took home the biggest prize of the week by winning FTOPS #7 for $237k! Many other Pocketfivers made big scores this week, including stevie444 (pictured) who took second in the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan.

Four Pocketfivers made the final table of the Bodog 100k, which featured an 11k overlay. The top finisher of the group was thatsNice in third for $9,200. Following him were Heinz57 in 4th, BeaverFever in 6th, and atimos in 7th.

TheMasterJ33 headlined the UltimateBet 200k this week from the Pocketfives community, taking second place and a handsome prize of $26,500. Finishing right behind him was dogsballs who took home $19,000 for third. Sixth and seventh place finishers in this Sunday major were charder and StickyINC.

There are bigger prizepools, but no tournament features more action and tougher fields than the $200 rebuy every Sunday on PokerStars. This week Pocketfiver Ruprikkt (playing as Fishlist_net) took second place, earning $37,485. He was followed by shaniac in third, PURPLEPILS99 in sixth, and SN8WMAN who took 8th.

Apparently Pocketfivers decided to sleep in this Sunday, because only one member made the final table of the Sunday Warm Up, and he finished 9th. Still, chgocubsfan earned himself $3,795 which is not bad for getting out of bed at the crack of noon. Community members fared much better in the Second Chance this week, where Doctor_Fun took home $49,450 for his first place finish. ROONEY_DIVES finished 5th, and don’t cry for Ditka89 and the $8,970 he won for sixth place. Rounding out the final table for the community was weavel in ninth.

Two Pocketfivers made the final table of the Sunday Million this week. First to go out was stsitron (playing as icallseat3). It’s hard to tell if he was more disappointed with loosing a race for a 15 million chip pot, or the fact that he didn’t get to chat it up with Lee Jones at this final table. Pocketfiver Zefa lasted long enough to be part of a 5-way deal that earned him $81,135 for his third place finish. He was down to just over one BB after being crippled with only a few tables to go in this tournament, and yet somehow came back to not only make the final table, but have a shot at the win.

Stevie444 continued his run of impressive results this week by taking second place in the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan for $25,665. Last month he earned a Pocketfives Triple Crown, this month he could be threatening to break into top ten status if he keeps up this pace. Joining him at the Mulligan final table were mman_status who took third, Dgo16 in 7th and Pechorin in 8th.

Full Tilt has cranked up its Online Poker series again and this Sunday featured a $300+22, $1 million guaranteed event that generated a prizepool of 1.342 million, just edging out the Pokerstars Sunday Million as the biggest tournament of the weekend. The good news is that Pocketfiver Braien took home a big chunk of that prizepool by finishing in first place for $237,072. Chicagocards1 took 4th place and $73,83. Another at the final table was ellizizcute (playing as CRACKENaces) who finished 7th for a very nice 30k payday.
