The Sunday Briefing: FTOPS XIV Rules the Weekend

November 09 2009, Mickey Doft

The final table of the World Series of Poker had the day off, but Sunday was business as usual on the virtual felt. Six-figure scores were prominent, as Full Tilt’s FTOPS XIV kicked off a few days ago. "Jakivi" defeated "rakeinfools" to claim Event #10 and having made a deal, both pocketed over $220,000 for their play. The biggest cash of the day went to Justin1836, winning the PokerStars Sunday Million for $236,614.05.
