Krisztina Polgar

The final Sunday of August also happened to be the final Sunday before the start of the 2012 World Championship of Online Poker. For the next three weeks, the biggest of the usual Sunday Majors will be on hiatus. Still, that didn't stop this week's affairs from producing a few big winners. Three players took home six-figure scores, the biggest of which went to "nebo_blizko" for winning the Sunday Million. Valentyn ��touchmynuts1�� Shabelnyk earned a victory in the Bigger $109, while Sergey "gipsy74" Rybachenko, Ozenc "ozenc" Demir, Kevin "flopped6810" Sharp, and Ty "puffinmypurp" Reiman were among the many notables who made final tables.

Also making a final table was Krisztina "Krisztasoul" Polgar. Just days ago, she was a part of the PokerNews video team at EPT Barcelona. Less than 48 hours after it ended, she was doing some damage of her own on the virtual felt, finishing runner-up in the Bigger $55 for nearly $30,000.

In the last Sunday Million until Sept. 30, PokerStars Team Online's Richard "Tzen1" Veenman (15th - $5,373.48) had a solid showing but finished just shy of the final table. A heads-up deal between "ChaseTh3Ace" and "nebo_blizko" guaranteed each more than $150,000. The final hand of the duel occurred at the 250,000/500,000/50,000 level. "ChaseTh3Ace" (with 14.6 million) opened to 1,000,000 on the button and "nebo_blizko" (with 49.3 million) three-bet to 2,500,000. "ChaseTh3Ace" put in a four-bet shove with J?7?, but "nebo_blizko" had the goods with K?K?. The flop fell J?4?2?, giving "ChaseTh3Ace" top pair. However, the 9? turn and 5? river were no help, securing the victory for "nebo_blizko."
