Christian “eisenhower1” Jeppsson wins Sunday Million
Jeppsson already has more than $9 million in online cashes to his name, including two WCOOP titles and a SCOOP Main Event final table. This weekend, he has added another huge win to his poker resume. The much loved Swedish pro has only gone and won the Sunday Million! He earned $111,769 after a flawless performance.
“EricBolis”, who has made numerous SCOOP and WCOOP final tables, came second for $81,103. EricBolis used a bit of nifty play to navigate his way to the top spots, including a hand in which he checked quad jacks on the river to induce a bluff. Great stuff!
“f1oba” had the chip lead early on during final table play, eventually finishing in fourth place for $42,712. Shortly after, “seegul65” came third for $58,856.
Previous Sunday Million winner “pyszalek” from Poland was knocked out early by Jeppsson in a standard A-A vs Q-Q clash, while 2012 SCOOP Main Event winner “Suarez_bg” didn’t have much of a stack to make an impact with.

“ImDaNuts”, “RuiNF” and “Tomatee” among those to claim Bounty Builder Series titles
The Bounty Builder Series offered 23 scrappy progressive knockout tournaments this weekend, some with huge guarantees.
Multi-time ‘COOP winner Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira, the Portuguese player based in the Netherlands, had a busy weekend. He won the $109 Bounty Builder Series #78 for $20,959, as well as scoring an additional $16,006 in bounties. So far during the series, Ferreira has racked up more than $55k in cashes and 129 knockouts. He’s also a feature name in the High Roller Club results this weekend.
Event #89 made for a very high stakes rumble. The $5,200 High Roller reached a prize pool of over $700k, leading to some of the maddest bounty hunting anyone has ever seen.
SCOOP winner Francisco “Tomatee” Benitez emerged as the eventual winner, earning $65,634 for his hard work. This (literally) wasn’t the half of it though, as Benitez also earned an incredible $101,972 in knockouts. He eventually beat top ranked pro Niklas “Lena900” Ã…stedt heads-up to claim the final bounty bonus.
Ã…stedt wasn’t the only threat to watch out for. The final table was full of big name regs, including Tomi “elmerixx” Brook, Sunday Million 10th Anniversary winner “a.urli”, and two time Sunday Million winner Peter “twirlpro” Turmezy.
