This week may not have had double the excitement like last week's Double Vision Sunday, but several players still managed to have terrific Sundays on the PokerStars virtual felt. The biggest prize of the day went to "Spyver," who won the Sunday Million for $190,459.14. The Sunday Warm-Up was won by online-tournament standout Casey "bigdogpckt5s" Jarzabek. Dean "dean23price" Price and Stevan "random_chu" Chew also notched first-place finishes on Sunday.

This week's Sunday Million saw more than 6,500 players take to the felt to generate a prize pool of more than $1.3 million. When it was over, three players had secured a six-figure payday and "Spyver" of the United Kingdom had taken down his first Sunday Million title.

The final table was reached about 10 hours after play began with "Spyver" leading the way and keeping his lead en route to the victory. With three players remaining, Spain's "agovque69" asked to discuss a deal but made his exit moments later when his A?9? couldn't improve against "Spyver's" A?K?.

That set up a heads-up match with the Brit holding a 5 to 1 lead over Canada's "GoldenOne306." The Canadian doubled up on the first hand of heads-up play, but "Spyver" finished him off moments later. With a little more than 20 big blinds in his stack, "GoldenOne306" raised the button and then called a three-bet shove for all his chips with K?8?. Unfortunately, he was dominated by his opponent's K?10?. The board ran out 10?3?9?K?4? to give "Spyver" the title and a top prize of $190,459.

Entering the final table of the Sunday Warm-Up with the chip lead was a man who is no stranger to deep tournament runs �� Casey "bigdogpckt5s" Jarzabek. For the first half of the final table, Jarzabek was stuck in reverse. It wasn't until five-handed play when he picked up steam. Down to a 15-big-blind stack, Jarzebek was in the big blind when a shorter stack shoved on the button and the player in the small blind called. Holding A?J?, Jarzabek put his chips in the middle and looked to build up his stack against the button's K?8? and the small blind's 9?9?. The board rolled out A?5?2?4?10? to give Jarzabek a pair of aces to bring him back into contention.

A deal between the final three players went down and despite being the short stack when the deal was made, Jarzabek battled back to seal the win. On the final hand, he four-bet with A?7?. His opponent, "TTycho," called all-in for about 35 big blinds with K?Q?. The board ran out 8?7?6?6?A? to secure the victory for Jarzabek.
