It was another stellar weekend at the world’s largest online poker room as PokerStar.com hosted it’s most lucrative weekly events this weekend. As is the norm at PokerStar, each of its big Sunday tourneys revealed much higher prize pools than originally guaranteed, with the Sunday Million bursting the GP to a whopping $1,717,800.

Starting with the Poker Star $500k Sunday Warm-Up, 3,488 entries boosted the prize pool to $697,600, guaranteeing the top 513 a cut of the money. The final table eventually came down to “eisenhower1” vs. “seberek”. In the end, it was eiesenhower1 taking down the tournament for the first place prize of nearly $100,000. 2nd place was worth $69,760 to seberek.
