The Sunday Briefing: UBOC Results and a Two-Time Sunday Million Winner
As the EPT Deauville and Aussie Millions Main Events keep the live poker circuit occupied, the action on the virtual felt may have flown a bit under the radar this weekend. Still, an exciting Sunday of online poker rewarded ten players with six-figure scores. Sebastian “SEBBAU” Bauer took home the biggest prize of the day, earning $330,900 for his victory in Event #8 of Ultimate Bet’s Online Championship 4.
The PokerStars Sunday Million was won by Juan Antonio “vietcong01” Barros, his second Sunday Million Victory. This time around he pocketed $255,954, almost $100,000 more than his victory in July 2007. Meanwhile, The Great Pike captured the Full Tilt $750,000 Guarantee crown for $138,488.51.
