The big story this weekend for pocketfivers was doublelucky winning yet another big tournament, this time receiving nearly $19k for first place in the Full Tilt $50k guaranteed tournament.  He has been on fire, which is a good way to be, leading into the WPT event in Aruba.

The biggest winner of the weekend, among noteables, was $175k, which was won by TheTakeover on PokerStars.  He is one of the top players on the internet, and he showed why, picking up this huge win after refusing to chop with his opponents when the tournament narrowed down to three players.  slimshaggy (known on P5s as PhatCat) took 8th in this event.

JJProdigy and iMsoLucky0 both made the final table of the $200k guaranteed on Empire, finishing 7th and 8th respectively.  iMsoLucky0 did this on the tail end of a big day, that included final tables in the $100 rebuy and $200 Omaha 8/b (which he won) on Stars.

TheyCallMeTrues and Nordberg took 2nd and 3rd in the Bodog $100k guaranteed, showing yet again how pocketfivers have taken over that site and called it their own.  And in another final table that featured at least two pocketfivers, Roothlus and Schorkus (JohnnyBax) took 2nd and 5th in the $100k guaranteed on Paradise.  Pocketfiver dmk4y took down the title in the $200k guaranteed on PartyPoker.

All in all another good weekend for pocketfivers.  As of this posting, the UltimateBet and Empire tournaments were not yet completed, so in the morning, those results will be updated.
