It used to be that on the weekends, we'd be thrilled to report that a few P5ers made it through all the huge online fields to make a final table in a major tournament.  Nowadays, we can expect to see at least one of our members at the final table of almost every major tournament online.  This weekend, however, was an example of straight up domination by PocketFives members.

This domination was most apparent on PokerStars, where in the Second Chance $200 ($228k prize pool), each of the top five at the final table was a P5er!  Horryclutch ended up at the top of the field, taking down Imper1um heads up.  Feldliss (pictured), Ajunglen, and gbmantis were the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishers.

In addition, two of our members ended up chopping the Sunday Million, each receiving well over $100k.  UGOTPZD, who recently finished 3rd in the same tournament, received $119k, and CZuke39 won $157k, including the extra $30k on the table for first.

Amazingly, that wasn't all.  iMsoLucky0 (pictured, right) took down the $200 rebuy, winning over $40k for first.  His heads up opponent was the 49th ranked P5er, hoodini10.  A name we all know finished 5th in this one, and that was JohnnyBax.  Finishing 9th at the final table was P5s Triple Crown winner Deuce2High, known on Stars as PWnasaurus.

And of course, we have to report the completion of the P5s sweep.  Jackal69 took down the $100 rebuy, which had a prize pool of $167k this week.  EnoBaLL (3rd), ocrowe (4th), jennicide (6th), and gboro780 (9th) were also at the final table.



Full Tilt upped their guarantee this week to $350k, showing their continued commitment to being one of the biggest tournament sites on the net.  The prizepool actually topped $400k this week, and P5er The-Toilet finished 2nd for over $45k.  He topped well-known pros Carlos Mortensen and Mike Matusow to get there, each of whom were also at the final table.  MrTimCaum took 5th for just over $18k, and HoosierAlum ended up in 8th.

UltimateBet had their $200k as always, and MoeDobbs and kush99 were the 5th and 6th place finishers.  GB2005 took 9th, and riskybusines cracked the final table as well, finishing 10th.

It was an amazing weekend for P5ers, and we want to congratulate everyone who was a part of it.  Here are the results:
