The Sunday Briefing: Griffin Benger and Michael Tureniec Win Majors in Bahamas 0001

Fun in the sun might be the typical way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the Bahamas. But for poker players, Sundays are all about business. And two well-known poker pros made the most of their day on the virtual felt this week by winning Sunday Majors at PokerStars.

Michael Tureniec and Griffin Benger (pictured) didn't find much success at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure this month, each failing to cash in the $10,000 Main Event and the $25,000 High Roller. But the two pros won back their buy-ins and then some on Sunday. Tureniec took down the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up for more than $106,000 after a heads-up deal, and Benger won the PokerStars Sunday 500 outright for $74,430.

Other winners this week were Wade "ricestud" Townsend (PokerStars $109 Sunday Rebuy), Alexander "Aleseed" Sidorin (PokerStars Sunday 2nd Chance), and Ben "jenbizzle" Jones (PokerStars Sunday Supersonic). The biggest earner on Sunday was "Epiphany77" who secured $201,711 in a three-handed deal at the PokerStars Sunday Million final table. Epiphany77 eventually finished runner-up to "D_DIGGLER99", who locked up $189,044.

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