Canada's Philippe D'Auteuil enjoyed a super Sunday at GGPoker thanks to taking down the $525 Bounty Hunters HR Main Event, an impressive result that saw his bankroll boosted by more than $105,000. Popular streamer Michael "Minthon" Iakovlev also bagged a six-figure payout in the $1,050 GGMasters High Rollers event.

The $525 Bounty Hunters HR Main Event drew in a bumper crowd of 2,386 entrants, who created a guarantee-busting prize pool that weighed in at $1,193,000. Such a large pot meant each of the nine players that navigated their way to the final table walked away with prizes worth at least five figures.

Brazil's "dutra n8" was the first casualty of the star-studded finale. They banked $13,617 for their efforts. "SoloMid" and "rainbowdaytona" were the next pair of players heading for the exits, doing so via the cashier's desk to collect $10,733 and ��17,854, respectively.

Sixth place and $19,886 went to "privetiki" of Ukraine before Japanese star Eisuke "LEN12349800" Katsuren bowed out in fifth for $27,699. The supremely talented Thomas Muehloecker's latest deep run in a high-stakes GGPoker tournament ended in a fourth-place finish worth $32,730.

Heads-up was set when "fearthereaper" busted in third for $55,532. D'Autueil locked horns with Cypriot "krifaloupas" for the title and the lion's share of the monster-sized prize pool. D'Auteuil got the job done and his hands on $105,098, leaving his fallen opponent to scoop a $58,892 consolation prize.

Iokovlev Triumphs in the GGMasters High Roller

Some 889 players bought into this weekend's $1,050 GGMasters High Rollers event and created an $889,000 prize pool. A cool $124,776 of that prize pool is now nestled in the GGPoker account of Michael "Minthon" Iakovlev who was the last player standing once the dust had settled.

None of the finalists walked away with less than $13,684, which was the amount ninth-place finisher Mateusz "SsethTzeenta" Szymanski banked when his tournament ended abruptly in ninth place.

China's "sutem" fell in eighth for $18,039, with Aram "Pusha T" Zobian banking $23,780 after falling in seventh. The final six became five when "Empirical700" of Austria ran out of steam, a finish worth $31,317.

Austria-based Lithuanian grinder Audrius "Audrii" Stakelis busted in fifth for $41,322, "GIAKYRA80" secured the $54,472 fourth-place prize, and "dash4fun" had to ultimately make do with the $71,805 third-place prize.

Nobody would have batted an eyelid had Iakovlev and Karolis "Internecik" Sereika struck a deal when heads-up because there was a $30,000 difference in the payouts. However, there was no deal, which meant Iakovlev reeled in a cool $124,776 score after he eliminated his final opponent, leaving the runner-up to head into the night with a $94,655 consolation prize.
