Wins across the board as Brits take all three of PKR's Sunday majors.

Aussie Classic $5,000 GTD - 08:00 GMT

Buy-in: $40
Runners: 134
Winner: Rocafella - $1,447

Community favourite and Vegas attendee Rocafella took 4 hrs 53 mins to claim his first Aussie Classic title, improving on a Sunday Open 2nd back in May. Doubt still remains as to whether Rocafella woke early Sunday morning for this event, with the suspicion remaining that he was still up from the previous evening. Runner-up RoscomaX, the highest placed Aussie, earned $858 for his efforts while third placed enoobs departed with $590. The final table featured two Aussies and one Kiwi, the antipodean trio placing 2nd, 4th and 5th. Four Brits and three French made up the remaining seats.

The Sunday Open $20K - 18:00 GMT

Buy-in: $22
Runners: 952
Winner: charliechandler - $4,608

Brit charliechandler put in a sterling effort for only his second MTT win in the mammoth 952-runner Sunday Open, earning $4,608 for his performance. He beat huaanmati into 2nd with the Estonian taking home $2,722 in consolation. Germany's VanACE came in 3rd for $1,780. The final table was made up with 50% Brits, although by the finish they filled four of the bottom six final table places. Of those with previous form, 5th placed Elz442 returned to the spotlight after a Sunday $30K last weekend. Moscovite oyaeby booked a 2nd place in the same event last month while antzTPK took down the Omaha Showdown in January.

The Sunday $30K - 19:00 GMT

Buy-in: $80
Runners: 397
Winner: teown007 - $7,940

Going into the final table, Indefatigable held the record for the largest PKR tournament cash, with a win worth $3,969 in the third 2009 Springfest event. Frenchman bebel13 had won a $10K TV Tournament a year ago, yet it was eventual winner teown007 who held the most extensive record. Currently 34th on the Money List, the Leicester resident has notched 90 final tables, 12 wins and a victory in the $100 buy-in 85-runner $4K GTD on 17 July. No surprise then that the Brit navigated his way through the final table to defeat Georgian vakhog for a $7,940 payday. The runner-up earned $4,764 with 3rd place xjeffroz cashing for $2,858.

Haha - I can quash the suspicion and tell you that I did wake up early, but it was only because I had been awake 24hrs a couple of days before and my sleep pattern was messed up.
I don't think I will be doing it again though as I fell asleep by the evening and slept through $350 worth of tournaments I had registered for that evening!
