Thorladen, better-known for his high stakes cash play, was all over the place in the tournament scene this weekend, finishing near the top of several big events.  On PokerStars, he took 5th in the Second Chance $200 and 3rd in the $100 rebuy, and he also made the final table of the UltimateBet $500 in its first week back in existance.

That same $500 featured almost all P5ers at the final table.  TheDonator (dickholdem on UB) took it down, with MrSmokey1 taking 2nd.  Thor finished 3rd, classyploppy took 4th, valek finished 5th, shaniac took 7th, coxquinn took 8th, and wes2000 took 9th.

Bodog had its largest turnout ever in the $100k Guaranteed this week, bringing in 999 participants.  P5er Leet8s was the runner up for $14k, and Beatiful Man took 4th for $6,500.  Askesis finished in 6th for $4,400, and tejas66 was the 7th place finisher for $3,400.



Full Tilt has started up their FTOPS again, and the event on Sunday had a huge turnout of more than 3,000 people, bringing the prize pool up to just over $600k.  Squirrely1 finished just shy of the top prize, taking 2nd for more than $65k.  RunyonAve was also at the final table, taking 4th place.

holla@yoboy and VIP_Modee had huge results on Sunday, each taking part in a 6-way deal in the Sunday Million on Stars.  They both received around $60k in the chop.

Other top performers on Stars among P5ers included Octavian_C, who took down the $100 rebuy, and Stoweski, who took down the $200 rebuy.  At that same $200 rebuy, WestmenloAA took 2nd, shaniac took 4th, and KenRogers and THE__D__RY finished 8th and 9th respectively.

bbbbb33 took 9th in the 2nd Chance $200, and eisenhower1 finished 9th in the $100 rebuy.

In the $200k Guaranteed on UB, a few P5ers got to the final table.  Papa Bull XL took 3rd for $18k, brian51 was the 6th place finisher, playing as -noonan-, and phatcat ended up in 9th.
