Sunday Briefing

While the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final tale took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, thousands of poker players were grinding online in the hope they would end the week on a high with a sizeable prize in their accounts.

The prize money on offer may have been nothing compared to that offered in the WSOP Main Event, yet there were still some serious prizes to be won. Let��s take a look who won big on Jul. 14.

This week��s PokerStars Sunday Million ended in a heads-up chop that saw the final two players from the 10,982 field walk away with a combined prize in excess of $190,000.

All but one of the nine players who reached the final table banked a five-figure prize. ��FozoMisiek�� of the United Kingdom busted in ninth-place to win $8,669 and was joined on the rail by Austria��s ��Vooii1990�� who collected $11,946 for their $109 investment.

Uruguayan pro Alex ��alex6255�� Kontogiannis was the next to fall, his seventh-place exit earning him $16,462. Kontogiannis was followed to the digital payout desk by ��Graeme7777�� and ��DigoLuiz�� who locked up prizes of $22,648 and $31,258 respectively before Henrique ��Galochina10�� Coutinho of Brazil fell by the wayside in fourth-place for $43,073.

The penultimate bust out was that of Julio ��JulioFantin�� Fantin in third-place, a finish worth $59,353 and an elimination that sent the tournament into the heads-up stage.

Heads-up saw ��Jigan7�� of Russia and ��kolobcheena�� also of Russia lock horns for the lion��s share of the prize pool. A deal was struck that left $20,000 to play for, and it was the latter who won that extra cash for a prize weighing in at $108,759; second-place was worth $85,742.

A smaller than usual Sunday High Roller took place this week, but it still distributed $94,000 to the top five finishers, and what a final five it was.

Muehloecker��s exit was followed by one of two Malta-based grinders. ��WhaTisLove�� collected $15,819 for their third-place finish, which set up a one-on-one clash between Philipp ��philbort�� Gruissem and Francis ��NoHayMiedo�� Cruz who calls the Dominican Republic home and who had fired three bullets at this event.

It turns out it was a case of third time lucky because Cruz busted Gruissem in second-place to resign the Malta-based German to the $24,154 consolation prize and collect the $36,881 top prize for himself.

partypoker partner Rob Yong took to twitter to give some context and asked people with complaints to contact him directly, an approach generally welcomed by the community.
