Fields were enormous this week in the Sunday majors, particularly on 

Full Tilt and  PokerStars.  The Omaholic (right) was the primary benefactor of the blow up on Full Tilt, taking down the $400k Guaranteed, which actually drew a prizepool north of $500k.  Five P5ers were at the final table, which ended in The Omaholic beating DSnyder766 heads up for a first prize of more than $94k.  kidzero, MavFish, and JCarver were also at the final table.

The other monstrous field was the Sunday Million on PokerStars, which had more than 7,000 entrants this week for the first time ever.  AK87 (left), in front of many friends and several top 10 players on PocketFives.com, was a big winner, taking over $57k for 4th place.  Fellow P5er Fisheye25 took 7th in the event.

Also on Stars, the Sunday Warm Up had a guarantee for the first time, and it was for $250k.  P5ers took this one off for the most part this week, but ira3801 still got to the final table, taking 7th place.  The other Sunday $200 freezeout (the 2nd chance) still had a lot of P5ers, though, including 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishers AaronBeen, Ian J, and SirDonksALot.  Two other well-known players took 7th and 8th: The-Toilet and ComeOnPhish.

In the big Sunday rebuys, Imper1um (right) managed to make both final tables.  He took 7th in the $200 rebuy and 6th in the big $100 rebuy.  Sagat was also at that $200 rebuy final table, taking 4th, and several other P5ers were at the final of the $100R.  Zpaceman, playing from the lobby at Atlantis Resort, took it down for more than $31k, beating highly ranked player P0KERPR033 heads up.  Foshio took 4th in the tourney, and thenut21poker took 7th.

Earlier in the day, BudmansCom took 3rd in the $100k Guaranteed on Bodog, which still managed to have a small overlay despite all the growth in tournament fields.

In the $200k Guaranteed on UltimateBet, which also had a small overlay, x2then (left) was the 2nd place finisher, beating out a final table that included P5ers easytiger2, JohnnyBax, and B00mer888.

Best of luck to everyone in the coming week.  Here are the final table finishers:
