A couple pocketfivers had huge weekends, and the pack was led by loewa79, who won his WSOP seat on InterPoker two days after winning the PartyPoker Friday Special, which paid out more than $35k. SamENole made the final table of the same Friday Special and the Piece of the Pro tournament on Full Tilt, while just missing the final table of the PartyPoker $350k guaranteed (12th place).

Bodog continues to have a massive overlay every Sunday, this week to the tune of $41,900, although we sadly cannot report that a pocketfiver won the tournament for the second consecutive week. The highest finishing member of the community was hookem148, who took 25th place.

strassa2had a huge win on PokerStars, bringing in $57k after chopping the $500k guaranteed 4-ways.

DippyDough was able to hang on for a long time in the UltimateBet $120k guaranteed, despite being severely short stacked for much of the later part of the tournament, and he ended up finishing in 6th place in the tournament. SailorLobellfinished 10th. Other pocketfivers who came close to the final table of this one include NestOfSalt(11th), AngryCLEC(16th), and bdluss(20th).

One other pocketfiver who nearly made a final table in a major this weekend was NSXT2, who finished 18th overall in the $100k guaranteed tournament on Paradise.

Special props go out to FastYellowand Tranquilo, who won their World Series seats in the 30 seat guaranteed tournament on Full Tilt, a tournament that ended up paying 35 $12k packages!
