Sunday roundup - 21 June 2009

Aussie Classic $5K GTD

Picking up Sunday’s first silverware, Frenchman Lamurgence topped a field of 139 to claim the Aussie Classic last week for a $1,500 payday. Australia filled the next two places, with Sharpy149, a previous Aussie Classic winner, and TheRaider coming in second and third. Australians and Kiwis made up five of the ten finalists.

Omaha Showdown $4K GTD

PokGERstar77 emerged with his first Omaha Showdown victory, outlasting 78 others to win the $50 PLO event and $1,120. The German made it third time lucky after two previous OS final table visits, defeating Frenchman Waswini, 2008 Super Series Pot Limit Omaha Champion, in heads-up play.

Sunday Open $20K GTD

BarmyArmy2009 wove his way through a field of 854 runners to a Sunday Open title, departing with $4,400 in prize money. It was a first major win for the Brit, who edged out Norway’s HesterPrynne at the death.

The Sunday 30K

With Switzerland producing more and more quality players it was no surprise to see Lakers1990 outlast 329 opponents to notch a maiden Sunday 30K victory. The Swiss shark won the $7,500 first prize in just under six hours, taking the scalp of double Sunday Classic finalist and previous Masters winner zigen111 with two left.
