PocketFives members and ranked players were all over the place this Sunday, but no one scored bigger than t soprano (left), who won the final event of the UltimateBet Online Championships (UBOC), splitting the top two prizes with the second place finisher and taking home $168k, not to mention the extra $2,500 UB paid him, due to their generous offer to P5ers in these events.

GB2005 (right) also won a huge tournament, taking down the

Full Tilt $350k Guaranteed for nearly $80k.  P5ers Doleman19 and blizair joined him at the final table, taking 5th and 9th respectively.

A few other P5ers also made the final table of the UBOC main event.  PMJackson21 took 3rd, A__theKevlar__ finished 4th (after final tabling the Bodog $100k last week), breitling996 finished 6th, and toetagu ended up in 8th.

UB also still had their weekly $50k Guaranteed $500, and gator93 (left) took it down for more than $19k.  HB_HITMAN (4th), scarface_79 (7th), yellowsub (8th), and classyploppy (10th) were also at the final table.

Another P5er took down the Sunday Million on PokerStars this week.  This time it was jdb, who plays on Stars as mrrain.  He was part of a 4-way chop and ended up taking home more than $135k.  Gregghmsr took 4th place in this event, and Nordberg finished 7th.

The Sunday Warmup drew another big prize pool this week, getting nearly 1,000 entrants, and a P5er took that one down as well.  Hickboy and stlouis6 actually finished 1st and 2nd in it, and P5er luchador420 also made the final table, finishing 6th.

Hoodini10 (right) gets special props this week as well, as he won the big Sunday $100 rebuy on PokerStars for $36k, and amazingly, he won two $100 rebuys on the same site on Saturday.  His three wins combined for nearly $80k!  Others at that Sunday final table included assassin8tor (2nd), brsavage (4th), four6suited (8th), and timkrank (9th).

The other big tourney on Stars was the $200 rebuy, and two P5ers made the final table.  Gotskillz? and CrazyMarco took 3rd and 6th place respectively.

And speaking of CrazyMarco, he had a big win on Bodog, taking down the $100k Guaranteed.  Schem11, FlopSweat, and Steely were the 5th, 6th, and 7th place finishers.
