This past Sunday, WillisNYC had the kind of cash that most online players dream about.  At the end of the Sunday Million on PokerStars, his name was sitting at the top of the list.  There was a 5-way chop, with $20k extra going to first, and after all was said and done, Willis walked away with $98k!

PokerStars also had an impressive turnout in their Second Chance $200 tournament this weekend, which had a prizepool of more than $200k!  Several P5ers were at the final table: karecon (3rd), holla@yoboy (4th), DABADESTCHIC (7th), and JTriverrat (8th).

The most impressive accomplishment of the weekend, though, had to be a very rare double win in the majors by a player named SHIPPEDtPOT1 on PartyPoker.  This player won both the Friday Special and the Sunday Million, for a combined $215k!  PokerJoe9 also did well in that Sunday Million, taking 4th place for just over $47k.

Full Tilt kicked off it's FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) with a $250k guaranteed event, and the final table was packed with talent, including Howard Lederer and Roland de Wolfe, who finished 3rd and 2nd respectively.  Our own P0KERPR033 was also at the final table, taking 9th place for nearly $6k.  Full Tilt also had a second chance tourney, which counted for the FTOPS, and BrooDogg took second in that one.

Pokertrip didn't take long to get back in gear online after winning his first WSOP bracelet.  He finished 4th this weekend in the UltimateBet $200k guaranteed, which still is giving value to the players with a weekly overly.  UHBigTex finished 6th in this one, and MrSmokey1 ended up in 10th.

Similarly, there were multiple P5ers at the final table of the "Weekly Big Deal" on PokerRoom.  Its prizepool is getting closer and closer to $100k.  Tmay420 (4th) and Imper1um (10th) were the P5ers who got to that final table.

Several other P5ers had final tables in the Sunday majors.  In the Paradise $150k, ab1212 took 7th place for over $5k.  On Bodog in the $100k, Round42 took 3rd for $9k and divingduck finished 7th for $3,400.  In Prima's $100k guaranteed $50 rebuy, dlperrio was the 4th place finisher.

Congrats to everyone who cashed.  Here are the results:
