Here are the results from the Sunday Million final table:

 

Elsewhere in the Sunday majors, “RQuariguasi” from Brazil earned themselves $30k for coming first in the Sunday Mini-Million, whilst “lazarovv10” from Bulgaria turned their $11 buy-in into over $30k for first place in the Storm.

Rodrigo “peceli” Presutti owns both Saturday KOs

Rodrigo “peceli” Presutti, one of Uruguay’s top online pros, has been making big waves in the High Rollers for years now. This weekend, he didwhat no player would ever think to be possible, perhaps even topping Astedt’s double a few weeks ago.

What was this epic feat? Presutti won not one, but two Saturday KOs.

Presutti came first place in the $1,050 HR13 Saturday KO for $27,795, plus an additional $32,332 in bounties. He also took down the $215 Saturday KO for $16,099, earning $19,343 more in bounties.

Presutti, congratulations for monopolizing the Saturday KO… just try to leave room for the other players next time!

Presutti’s combined score from both KO tournaments: $95,569

“terror777727” monster score in PLO event, $100k HRS win for Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez

“terror777727” is a name that Hold ‘em players could potentially overlook. Anyone who frequents the high stakes PLO tables, whether cash or tournaments, knows to fear them.

The High Roller Series 16 event was a huge PLO tournament. 71 elite entrants bought in for $10,300, generating a prize pool of $710k. terror777727 came first, adding $191,635 to his already huge file of PLO profits. “probais” from Hungary came second in the event for $143,250.

Legendary pro Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez from Uruguay also came out with a huge High Roller Series win. After scoring big in bounties last month, Benitez came first in PKO Event 17 this weekend for $39,550, plus $61,593 in bounties – a total pillage of over $100k.

Over in the hyper-turbo Event 18, “drupa-lucker” won $58,363 in just over two and half hours of heart-racing play.

The High Roller Series Main Events is still running, with 170 entrants left at the break. The prize pool now stands at over $2.3 million. “MonsieurRask” and “lipe piu” are the only two players with over 2 million chips, but there’s still all to play for. Check back tomorrow for results of the HRC Main Event.

HRC victories for “J0hn Mcclean”, “WATnlos” and Pascal “Paffchen” Hartmann

Never to be overshadowed, the High Roller Club continued to provide some of the hottest poker action of the weekend, with prize pools rivalling the High Roller Series.

The Sunday $530 HRC Bounty Builder came with a $1 million guarantee, making it one of the biggest tournaments of the weekend. “J0hn Mcclean” from Andorra came first place for $98,698, plus an additional $79,773 in bounties for a total of $178,471.
