Dan Smith

Online poker's biggest names were out in full force over the weekend following the start of the PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP). The 50-event series features $15 million in guarantees, and more than $2 million was handed out across several events during the weekend.

Dan "Danny98765" Smith continued his domination of large tournament fields, taking down TCOOP Event #17 for $125,146. Smith, who won the PokerStars Sunday Million as well as a handful of live events over the past 18 months, bested a final table on Sunday that included Steven "Zugwat" Silverman, Spencer "UH Big Tex" Hudson and Magnus "Giffordonian" Martin.

Another well-known pro who won six-figures on Sunday was Nick "FU_15" Maimone, who earned more than $140,000 in cash despite not winning a tournament. Maimone recorded runner-up finishes in the PokerStars Sunday Warm-up (chopping for $95,000) and the PokerStars $109 Sunday Rebuy ($43,858)

Over at Full Tilt Poker, Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro won the $250K Guarantee for $54,520. The feared Finnish pro, normally known for his cash game prowess, has been on a tear playing online majors over the past year. He final tabled the Sunday Million and won a PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) event last spring, and made several deep runs in Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) events.

Here's a full look at the results from the Sunday Majors on PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, partypoker and WSOP.com:
