For the last weekend of January, several P5ers decided they were going to cash big. PartyPoker was having their end of the month $750k guaranteed, and PokerStars had their end of the month $700k guaranteed, and at least one PocketFives regular made a big score in each. BeL0WaB0Ve made more than $70k for 3rd place in the $750k, playing as cocesaryumy, CainSCtook 5th in the same tourney for about $45k, and Duff McGuirecashed for just over $39k in the $700k.

Meanwhile, three PocketFivers won major tournaments on Sunday. Stamdoggwon nearly $60k for first place in the Full Tilt $200k guaranteed, and B_O_K_Etook down the $150k on Paradise. Supermatcame in first in the UltimateBet $125k. In the first of those two, Bateraalso finished 9th, and in the second, majicfinished 3rd and truesyalosetook 10th.

SirLusciousthen got the Sunday started off just as well, taking 2nd in the Bodog $100k guaranteed for $14k. Tmay420was another P5er to make a final table on Sunday, taking 9th in the Weekly Big Deal on PokerRoom.
