It was Halloween over the weekend and some of the prizes awarded in the biggest online poker events were nothing short of scary. Some of the world��s elite tournament grinders padded their bankrolls with substantial scores, here are some of the highlights.

Muehloecker Triumphs in High Rollers Blade Prime

Thomas Muehloecker took down the $5,250 High Rollers Blade Prime at GGPoker and secured the tournament��s only six-figure prize. As you��d expect from a tournament of such magnitude, the field was packed with the game��s superstars.

A handful of them reached the final table, including Elio Fox, Isaac Haxton, and recent WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Dvoress. The tournament eventually progressed to heads-up where Muehloecker locked horns with ��RRomashka�� who you may recall reached the final table of last week��s Super MILLION$. Muehloecker got the job done and walked away with a cool $100,985.

Addamo Wins Yet Another Major Event

Michael Addamo secured a $70,336 prize and yet another major online title. The Australian superstar won the Bounty Grand Master HR $3,150, a Battle of Malta side event.

Exactly 100 players bought in and it was Addamo who emerged victoriously. After battling at the final table with the likes of David Peters, Dario Sammartino, and Artur Martirosian, Addamo found himself heads-up against Andras Nemeth; things don��t get any easier in these high stakes events! Addamo being Addamo managed to win his heads-up fight and walked away with a combined prize worth $70,336.

It's Official! WSOP Main Event at GGPoker Shatters Guinness World Records Title

Matthias Eibinger Wins The High Roller Big Game

A field of 138 of the world��s top players bought into the partypoker Big Game High Roller on Sunday and created a guarantee-busting $357,500 prize pool.

Adrian Mateos was the unfortunate soul who burst the money bubble, leaving the likes of Jeff Gross, Ole Schemion, Fabio Sperling, and Sebastian Sikorski to collect some prize money.

Everyone at the final table walk away with a five-figure prize for their $2,600 buy-in. Such luminaries as Francois Billard, Aliaksei Boika, and Juan Pardo Dominguez being among the first to fall at the final table.

Reigning MILLIONS Online champion Benjamin Chalot crashed out in fourth for $30,387 before Ireland��s Eugenio Peralta��s third-place exit left Matthias Eibinger and Mark Radoja heads-up. Eibinger doesn��t lose many one-on-one encounters so it was unsurprising to see him defeat Radoja.

First-place weighed in at $80,687 with the runner-up banking $58,086.0

RUMUKULUS Wins Largest Prize at PokerStars

Germany��s ��RUMUKULUS�� was the biggest winner at PokerStars this weekend courtesy of being the last player standing in the $1,050 Sunday High Roller. A field of 323 entrants created a $323,000 prize pool that the top 39 finishers shared.

RUMUKULUS had a tough time at the final table, as would you if you were seated with the eight others who reached it. Team PokerStars Pro Lex ��L.Veldhuis�� Veldhuis�� exit in seventh-place made the waters less shark-infested, however.

Denmark��s ��JackRipperJr�� busted in second-place and got their hands on the $45,530 consolation prize, leaving RUMUKULUS to net the $60,764 top prize and the title of champion.
