Kenny "SpaceyFCB" Hallaert seems to be in the form of his life. After winning the PokerStars $1,050 Super Tuesday on Aug. 1 for more than $60,000 and the partypoker $15K Gtd Eliminator on Aug. 2, the popular Belgian secured his second PocketFives.com Triple Crown by taking down the 888poker $120,000 Whale on Sunday.

Hallaert came out on top of a 117-strong field to turn his $1,050 investment into $44,250. As this was his third victory on three different sites within seven days, Hallaert added a second Triple Crown accolade to his name. If Hallaert keeps up his current form, he should break through the $4 million in winnings barrier well before the year ends as he currently has amassed $3.8 million.

This weekend's $100,000 Mega Deep at 888poker ended in a heads-up chop between "Leqenden" and "1LevelAbove." The former finished second and collected $16,571 while the latter was crowned champion and banked a cool $17,226.

Also at 888poker, "Konrad115" won the $35,000 Turbo Mega Deep for $9,613 and Brazil's "Duchasi" turned $109 into $14,061 by triumphing in the $60,000 Sunday Challenge.

Over at PokerStars, the $215 Sunday Million ended in a three-way chop, with the final three players locking up more than $110,000 each. Finland's "Sanderssi" finished in third-place for $110,833, the United Kingdom's "diidums" bust in second-place for $118,315 and Canada's "thx4urm0n3y" emerged victorious with $168,000 to show for his victory.

Here's a look at some of the other notable winners at PokerStars from Sunday.
