We love checking out the results of the $2,100 Sunday High Roller because it is one of the tournaments where any of the entrants could win it as they are poker��s elite grinders.

UK-based Norwegian Preben ��prebz�� Stokkan was the first casualty of the final table, his ninth-place finish securing a $7,269 prize. Stokkan was joined on the sidelines by Simon ��C.Darwin2�� Mattson ($9,397), Dominik ��Bounatirou�� Nitsche ($12,147), and Russia��s Viktor ��papan9_p$�� Ustimov ($15,702).

Another UK-based poker player, Juan ��Malaka$tyle�� Pardo, collected $33,916 for his third-place exit, leaving two Russians to butt heads for the top prize.

��hello_totti�� is one of the best online poker tournaments of their generation, but even the mighty have to be the bridesmaid sometimes. Hello_totti busted in second-place for $43,842, leaving fellow Russian ��DRONCHEK�� to bask in the glory of victory along with $56,673 in prize money.

The partypoker Sunday High Roller Gladiator: $200K Gtd attracted a field of 134 entrants who were all outlasted by Croatian pro ��SouhftfW��. Partypoker make the first and second-place prizes of their PKO events almost the same, leaving the heads-up duo to fight for the substantial bounty payments instead.

And substantial they were because when ��CrazyLissy�� of Russia saw their tournament come to an abrupt end in second-place, they netted $6,119 worth of bounties in addition to their $23,631, but SouhftfW�� walked away with $23,658 from the main prize pool and an astonishing $51,564 worth of bounty payments!

Shout-out to ��FkTheseGuysBro�� who reached this final table on the same day as the Natural8 Sunday Blade $10K; this result being worth a combined $8,494.

888poker ran its popular Sunday Sale on some of its biggest events, halving the price of the buy-in. One such tournament was the $100,000 Sunday Sale Mega Deep that only cost $109 this week. It was a smart move by 888poker because 1,304 players bought in and obliterated the guarantee.

The top three finishers turned their $109 into five-figures. Brazil��s Rui ��Grobbshinit�� Rodrigues busted in third-place for a $12,648 score, which left Peru��s ��O_fenomeno9�� and Espen ��DubaiPrince4�� Uhlen J?rstad of Norway to play heads-up for the title.

The Peruvian eventually busted in second-place so had to make do with the $16,952 runner-up prize, meaning J?rstad walked away $23,472 richer and enjoyed a very profitable Sunday.
