May 8 was a massive day for online poker tournament grinders at GGPoker with more than two dozen players walking away with prizes in excess of $25,000 and several more reeling in six-figure hauls. Wiktor Malinowski fell in the second category courtesy of becoming the $25,500 Sunday Million HR champion.

The $25,500 Sunday Million HR drew in a crowd of 56 entrants who created a $1,400,000 prize pool. The compact field meant only the top seven finishers receive a payout, so spare a thought for Samuel Vousden who busted in eighth and missed out on a $71,847 prize. Vousden enjoyed a remarkable Sunday last week, but faltered in this super high roller event.

Isaac Haxton was the first finalist to receive some prize money for his efforts. Haxton��s seventh place finish came with $71,847. Matthew "Nator" Hyman collected $95,809 when his tournament ended abruptly in sixth place; this was the last five figure score.

High roller specialist Mikita Badziakouski busted in fifth for $127,764 before Thomas Muehloecker headed to the cashier to collect an impressive $170,376 for his fourth-place finish.

Aleks Ponakovs then bowed out in third for $227,200, which left Malinowski heads-up against Brazilian superstar Pedro Garagnani. The heads-up duo struck a deal that lessened the pay jumps, before Malinowski came from behind and sent his Brazilian opponent to the showers. Garagnani banked $358,975 for his second place finish, which was around $10,000 more than the $348,027 Malinowski scooped due to the aforementioned deal.

The $525 Bounty Hunters HR Main Event saw an incredible 3,236 players buy in and create a $1,618,000 prize pool. Half that sum went into the main prize pool, with the remaining 50% going on the heads of each entrant.

Everyone was guaranteed more than $17,000, with bounties included, by the time only the final table of nine remained. South African "FIORELLO" got their hands on a $17,409 prize when they crashed out in ninth. Russia��s "Popivku" and Aleksei Barkov were the next casualties, they added $22,880 and $16,921 to their GGPoker accounts respectively.

Next to fall by the wayside were Soraya Estrada and Omer "Gabuch1" Gabay. Their eliminations came with prizes tipping the scales at $20,446 and $33,086.

The final four became three with the untimely demise of Daniel "cocalatinhAA" Junior, a finish worth $54,328. Then came the exit of Casper Svenning in third for $57,502, which left only Alexey "Kosmos9" Grigorenko and Ami Barer heads-up.

Barer brushed aside his final opponent and helped himself to a combined prize weighing in at $149,455, leaving Grigorenko to bank the $87,766 runner-up prize.

Barer went on to win a second GGPoker title when he finished in first place in the $1,500 Sunday Saver for $43,234.
