Andras ��probirs�� Nemeth and Andrey ��ThePateychuk�� Pateychuk were just two superstars who helped themselves to a top prize of a Sunday Major at PokerStars this weekend.

Both players are no strangers to final tables of tournaments, especially in high stakes games where the pair seem to excel.

Nemeth��s victory came in the $1,050 Sunday Warm-Up, a tournament that attracted a compact field of 62 entries. This resulted in the top nine finishers sharing the $62,000 prize pool.

Christian ��WATnlos�� Rudolph fell in 10th place to set the final table and burst the money bubble at the same time. This paved the way for the likes of Torben ��Tralllle�� Soerensen, ��P0KERPR02.0�� and Andrey ��Anjeyyy�� Novak to see a return in their investment.

Jans ��Graftekkel�� Arends fired three bullets at this event and the final once saw him eventually finish sixth for $3,936. ��Remi_Lebo_10��, and ��Sintoras�� crashed out before Viktor ��papan9_p$�� Ustimov saw his tournament end abruptly in third-place, a finish worth $9,379.

Heads-up pitted together two legends of the game. Nemeth locked horns with Niklas ��Lena900�� Astedt and the pair struck a deal to flatten the payouts. This meant Astedt got his hands on $15,485 when he busted in second place, which was more than the $13,777 Nemeth collected.

Pateychuk��s victory came in the $215 Sunday Warm-Up and saw him outlast 634-opponents on his way to turning $215 into $22,035.

The Russian found himself heads-up against Brazil��s ��4FKvothe�� for the lion��s share of the prize pool. Pateychuk, a former World Poker Tour champion, got the job done and bushed his Brazilian opponent aside. Second-place weighed in at $15,990 while third-place finisher ��LOBAXHiNO�� of Argentina won $11,604, the only other five-figure score of the competition.

Daniel Neilson Wins the partypoker Big Game

Some 469 players turned out for this week��s partypoker Big Game, meaning the $200,000 guarantee was beaten by $24,650. Sixty-four of those started received a slice of the pie, with a min-cash weighing in at $1,123.

This sum increased to $4,257 by the time the eight-handed final table was set. The top five finishers each secured a five-figure score for their efforts.

Jeremy Saderne fell in fifth and collected $10,199 with David Stephenson��s fourth-place exit being worth $14,377. Brazil��s Marllon Pinto banked $20,472 when he crashed out in third, which left Daniel Neilson and Viktor Ustimov to butt heads for the lion��s share of the prize pool.

The heads-up battle went Neilson��s way and he scooped an impressive $41,858. Ustimov padded his bankroll with a $29,854 consolation prize.

The $55 buy-in Gladiator was one of the biggest partypoker tournaments this weekend thanks to 2,288 players buying in and creating a $120,120 prize pool, which is very impressive for a mid-stakes event.

��benatto�� was the last player standing from this ample field and victory was worth $7,110 from the main prize pool plus an additional $3,704 worth of bounty payments. This combined score of $10,814 for a $55 entry is a great result.

Runner-up ��Hustle10�� almost banked a $10,000 score thanks to a $7,097 second-place prize that was bolstered with $2,672 from the bounty prize pool.
