It was another good weekend for people who like big prizepools, and there were plenty of pocketfivers capitalizing on all the money that was out there for the taking.  The big winner of the weekend was brainwash, who took 2nd in the PokerStars $500k guaranteed, which was worth more than $73k after a 3-way chop.  This was the 3rd time he has finished in the top 4 of the Sunday tournament on Stars.

AawwNutz won the weekly "Big Deal" on PokerRoom, and as many of our users know, that brings the number of sites on which he has won a tournament to 7.  He also picked up nearly $12k for the win.

Another big winner for the weekend was iMsoLucky0, who won the $50k guarantee on Empire, FT'd the $20k on Paradise and then won the $50k there the same night, took first in a PartyPoker Million Satellite (which paid $4500 cash, since there weren't enough entries for a WPT package), and got 2nd in a $100 tournament on PartyPoker.  By the way, all of these wins were on the same day, Sunday....wow.

A couple of ranked players went far in the $200 Sunday tournament on Full Tilt, including Duff McGuire, who finished 3rd.  Riverloser just missed the final table, but still got a nice payout for 11th place.

In the $350k guaranteed on Party, several top players cracked the final table, which is unusual for an event with this many entrants.  jacksup finished 3rd in this one, barely outlasting TheBeat, who took down 4th.  Also at the final table was jcgoheels, who finished 8th after having a similar finish on UltimateBet the week before.

Speaking of UltimateBet, westtexasman took 3rd place in the $100k guaranteed, and a couple other P5ers made the final table, ThoseNuts and jlourenc.  Another nice win on this site was had by muchaka, who picked up an Aruba trip in the Friday night $300 satellite.

Paradise also saw a number of pocketfivers do well, particularly debo34 (playing as gdebo), who got 2nd place in the $100k guaranteed.  jgarza (ActionJeff) just missed the final table in this one.  Later in the evening, SamENole, SoBeDude, and BrooDogg all won their WPT Legends seat there.  Also this weekend, Mr. Lobo won his second WPT Legends seat.

On PokerStars in the $109 rebuy, C.K. (ckruel) just missed the final table, finishing 10th, while sheets and P0ker D0h (P0ker H0) ended up in 5th and 6th respectively.
