The action in the WSOP.com Online Championships and PokerStars Bounty Builder series continued this past weekend, giving players in the Regulated States of America no shortage of opportunities to battle for five-figure paydays.

Running right alongside of the World Series of Poker gold bracelet events, the WSOP.com Online Championships continues to deliver massive prize pools for players in Nevada and New Jersey. On Sunday, five tournaments topped the six-figure prize pool mark with some paydays equalling that of a final table finish in a bracelet event.

It was a big day for Angel ‘chromeking’ Lopez who found himself nearly winning two of the biggest tournaments on Sunday’s WSOP.com schedule. First, he bested the 151-player (76 rebuys) field of WSOP.com OC #81 ($100,000 High Roller) for a $44,180.78 score. Gordon ‘veilleux’ Vayo, who had a big day in his own right, finished in second place for $33,319.85. Another well-known pro, Justin ‘tamaratibles’ Young, grabbed the third spot and added $24,800.20 to his bankroll.

At the same time Lopez was locking up his victory he was also making a deep run in the $500 buy-in WSOP.com $50,000 Weekly Sunday. Lopez fell in heads-up play to Michael ‘SammyTwizz’ Azzaro who took down the tournament for a $33,413.85 payday. Lopez settled for second place and added $19,491.41 to his win for a two-tournament total of $63,672.19. Sasidhar ‘samiam22’ Bobba was the third member of the podium, earning $11,137.95 for third place.

‘mazeltov’ was to be congratulated for their first-place finish in WSOP.com OC#80 ($200,00 NLH Sunday Special Edition) which was good for a $41,965.29 score. Then there was Gordon Vayo again, finishing as the runner-up for the second time on Sunday, locking down $31,091.58. His pair of runner-up finishes brought him $64,411.43 in total. ‘phenom7’ fell in third place which was good for $22,943.25.

Melissa ‘pokerdad1960’ Schubert outlasted the 1,190-player (748 rebuys) field in the WSOP.com $100,000 Player Appreciation tournament to collect the $30,132.02 first-place prize. Landon ‘ActionDealer’ Tice settled for second place and $18,579.44 while Hung ‘nowitsover’ Truong always walked away with five-figures, winning $13,372.20 for third place.

Also of note, longtime online grinder Jon ‘havuuuuuc’ Turner took down the WSOP.com OC #80 ($75,000 NLH Sunday 55) for $26,038. And recently profiled New Jersey grinder Frank Marasco took down another tournament, winning the WSOP.com $25,000 WSOP Bracelet Second Chance Deepstack for $9,087.82.
