Three PokerStrategists take down Sunday Majors (again)
In today's Sunday round-up we congratulate three community members for taking top honours and $350,000 in PokerStars' Majors.
Polish PokerStrategist takes Sunday Million title
 |
| Exploiting the table |
Sometimes a commanding chip lead, pocket aces and support of the rail aren't enough to help you capture a Sunday Million title which is something Graftekkel found out last night.
Despite overcoming more than 9,000 players and entering the final table with one of the largest stacks, the Dutch grinder couldn't find a slice of luck when it mattered most and ultimately slipped away in third place.
Serving up a devastating blow to the Dutchman was Stev0L_ who managed to push his pocket nines past Graftekkel's aces in the final throes of the tournament.
After rivering an unlikely flush, Stev0L_ looked set to take down the title, but he hadn't reckoned on our very own unexploitable overhauling a 5:1 deficit in impressive style.
The comeback kid started his path to victory with a rag ace and a slice of luck before agreeing to a deal that netted him $210,700.
With $20,000 left to play for and Stev0L_ on the back foot, unexploitable lived up to his name and took full advantage of the situation.
Now in desperation mode, Stev0L_ made a final push for redemption with 
but found himself in trouble against unexploitable's 
. A dry final board pushed the final pot towards unexploitable as well as the remaining $20,000 and the moniker of Sunday Million master.

Klebstoffnov's Supersonic victory
It was a Sunday of success for two PokerStrategy members after they overcame the masses and triumphed in two of PokerStars' biggest weekend tournaments.
First to tip the scales and enjoy the rush of winning a Sunday major was Germany's klebstoffnov. After anteing up $215 to play the Sunday Supersonic our Black member managed to race his way past 1,602 players to pick up a seminal victory and $48,213.
The final flurry of tournament action saw three players - klebstoffnov, g.karolis and a.S.e High - cut a deal before klebstoffnov ousted both players to claim the remaining cash and the overall title.

500 reasons to smile for infinity1000
While klebstoffnov was speeding towards a five-figure payday, another of our Black members, infinity1000, was tackling the Sunday 500.
Lining up alongside 931 seasoned grinders the German community member managed to overcome two Brits - easylimp and Chaz D 87 - before declining a deal and ousting Canada's a$$ou heads-up.
Despite final table chops being almost customary in the online world, infinity1000 stood firm in the final battle and was eventually rewarded with an $83,790 payday.
