It was another busy slate of tournaments on the virtual poker felt this weekend. The 2014 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) rounded out its second week of action at PokerStars, and the MiniFTOPS series wrapped up at Full Tilt Poker after a champion was crowned in the Main Event. Meanwhile, partypoker hosted a $215 Sunday major with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Marco "NoraFlum" Johnson (pictured) was one of several players who collected a WCOOP bracelet on Sunday. Johnson, a highly respected mixed-games player from the U.S., won his second career WCOOP HORSE title in Event #42: $320 HORSE. Johnson also reached the final table of the Sunday 500 on PokerStars, placing eighth for more than $10,000.
Dan "djk123" Kelly was looking to claim his fifth career WCOOP victory in the $10,300 High Roller Heads-Up event on Sunday. Kelly, who holds the record for WCOOP titles with four, reached the semifinals of the event before losing to eventual champion "OtB_RedBaron."Ben "Ben86" Tollerene also advanced to the semis but lost to Hong Kong's "ForTheSwaRMm."
Several other notables pocketed big scores on Sunday. Here's a full look at the results from the Sunday Majors on PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and partypoker:
