Over at Full Tilt, it was the first Sunday of FTOPS XIII and that meant three gold jerseys were at stake, not to mention hefty first-place pay days. Winning their respective events were t1ger heat, NNNobodYYY, and mikeyG16, while the biggest prize of the weekend went to h2oace, $240,210.01, for winning the PokerStars Sunday Million.
