The Sunday Briefing: FTOPS XIV Rules the Weekend
The final table of the World Series of Poker had the day off, but Sunday was business as usual on the virtual felt. Six-figure scores were prominent, as Full Tilt’s FTOPS XIV kicked off a few days ago. "Jakivi" defeated "rakeinfools" to claim Event #10 and having made a deal, both pocketed over $220,000 for their play. The biggest cash of the day went to Justin1836, winning the PokerStars Sunday Million for $236,614.05.
