Sunday Briefing: Anatoly Filatov Wins Two partypoker Majors
Some poker players can go their entire career without winning a Sunday Major, but Anatoly ��NL_Profit�� Filatov is not just some poker player. The talented Russian took down not one but two major tournaments at partypoker on Oct. 28. Let��s take a look at what he won.
partypoker Sunday Bounty Hunter High Roller: $200K Gtd

Filatov��s first victory of the evening came in the partypoker Sunday Bounty Hunter High Roller: $200K Gtd where 186 players battled over $200,000. Only 24 of those received any prize money for their efforts with Filatov��s fellow Team partypoker member Kristen ��Krissyb24�� Bicknell cashing in 19th place for $1,373 plus $910 worth of bounties.
The players at the eight-handed final table were guaranteed almost $3,000 from the main prize pool plus whatever they had claimed from the bounty prize pool.
��SiguiendoElFlow�� was the first player to bust from the final table and they were followed to the rail by British grinder Dan ��ROTTsFEARestFC�� Charlton.
��TigerVSyou�� busted in sixth-place and collected more money overall that fifth-place finisher ��funnyboy7777�� thanks to the progressive bounty element of the tournament.
Fourth-place went to ��KryptoKing420�� who netted a combined $13,187, a few hundred dollars more than ��Dork Pork�� who was eliminated in third-place for $12,435 in total.
That elimination left ��x_zola25�� and Filatov to battle it out for the title and it was Filatov who came out on top. X_zola25 walked away with a combined $22,839 but Filatov scooped an impressive $52,933 thanks in part to claiming his own substantial bounty.

Filatov outlasted 200 opponents to get his hands on the first-place prize, sending Dutch star Jans ��Graftekkel�� Arends to the rail in second-place, a finish worth $14,874.
Earlier in the tournament, Niklas ��Drulitooo�� Astedt, Kenny ��Spacey1891�� Hallaert and Team partypoker��s Jason ��Jason_Koon�� Koon busted inside the money places, while Jordan ��JWPRODIGY�� Westmorland navigated his way to another final table where he ran out of steam in sixth-place to collect $4,221.
The man of the hour was Filatov, however, and this latest result pushes his lifetime online winnings towards $3.8 million, $1 million of which stems from his play at partypoker.

| Prize pool | $1,079,400 |
| ITM | 944 |
This week��s Sunday Million title is heading to Romania after ��behindme93�� outlasted 5,386 opponents in online poker��s biggest weekly tournament.
An impressive 5,387 players created a $1,079,400 prize pool that was divided up among the top 944 finishers. By the time the final table was set, the smallest prize anyone was walking away with was $8,578, the sum awarded to ��haidee�� of Romania.
The remaining eight players were guaranteed a five-figure score and it was Mexico-based grinder Zackary ��zackmorris99�� Morris who netted $12,224 when he fell in eighth-place. Morris was joined on the sidelines by ��Salomon444��, ��swatek1983�� and ��rodrigoruas�� before British star Luke ��LFmagic�� Fields crashed out in fourth-place for a $50,402 score.
Third-place and an impressive $71,822 went to Russia superstar Artem ��veeea�� Vezhenkov which left ��gettingpwned�� of Bulgaria and behindme93 to lock horns for the title. The final two players decided to strike a deal for the remaining prize pool that left an additional $20,000 for the eventual champion.
That champion turned out to be behindme93 who walked away with bragging rights and $131,018, leaving gettingpwned to bank $117,170 for their $215 investment.

| Entrants | 106 |
| Prize pool | $212,000 |

The final table of the PokerStars $2,100 Sunday High Roller was a star-studded affair, as you would expect from such a high buy-in tournament. Any of the nine grinders would have made a worthy champion, but the very nature of poker tournaments mean only one player can be crowned king or queen.
That winner was UK-based Norwegian Preben ��prebz�� Stokkan, albeit after a three-handed deal. Stokkan netted himself $40,354 for his victory. Germany��s Claas ��Ssick_OnE�� Segebrecht was the tournament��s runner-up for $35,826 with ��naliuj90�� finishing in third-place for a $36,461 score.
Others who reached the final table included ��hotmark777��, Niklas ��Lena900�� Astedt, Damian ��pampa27�� Salas, ��anteen�� and ��MITS 304�� of Cyprus.

��derharry69�� emerged victorious from the 888poker $100,000 Sunday Mega Deep this week, turning $215 into $20,097 as a result. The victory was made sweeter by the fact derharry had to contest with two elite opponents once play was three-handed.
British duo Charlie ��chazcombes�� Combes and Sam ��sammygrinder�� Grafton were the two stars hoping to stop derharry69 from walking away with the lion��s share of the prize pool, but their quest to do so failed.
Combes busted in third-place for a $11,223 score and when Grafton exited in second-place he added $14,877 to his bankroll. Grafton now has more than $5.5 million in online poker tournament winnings, more than $350,000 of which stems from his play at 888poker.

888poker $50,000 Whale

| Buy-in | $1,050 |

| Entrants | 76 |
| Prize pool | $76,000 |
| ITM | 7 |
A Malta-based pro took down the $100,000 Mega Deep and it was a player from sunny Malta who triumphed in the 888poker $50,000 Whale too.
��HateH4teHate�� was one of 76 entrants in the $1,050 buy-in event, which paid its $76,000 prize pool to the top seven finishers. Mexico ��NoMamesWeyyy�� was the final tables first casualty and they were joined as a spectator by ��2good2beTru��, Finland��s ��wellyxx�� and Sweden��s ��Madeon1994�� the latter being the last player not to win at least $10,000.
��SalasFiesta�� of Sweden, perhaps the least Swedish name we��ll come across this week, finished in third-place for $11,400 to leave ��FlatTopTony�� of Canada and HateH4teHate to play heads-up for the title and the not-so-small matter of $26,600.
That prize is now nestled in the 888poker account of HateH4teHate, meaning FlatTopTony banked the $17,100 consolatio prize.
| Position | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HateH4teHate | Malta | $26,600 |
| 2 | FlatTopTony | Canada | $17,100 |
