Chris Moorman marched to his 360th online poker tournament victory on Apr. 15 in the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up. Let that figure settle in for a moment. Moorman has won 360 tournaments, an incredible figure to say the least.

This latest victory added $39,343 to Moorman��s coffers and took his total online tournament winnings to $14,747,857 meaning he is $252,143 away from eclipsing the $15 million barriers.

Moorman locked horns with Brazil��s Dennys ��dennysramos2�� Ramos heads-up and the Brit, playing out of Canada, proved too much for Ramos to handle. The Brazilian took home $28,551 for his runner-up finish, the fourth-largest online cash of his career.

Tommy ��88pro88�� Lawrence secured by far the largest cash of his poker career this weekend when he came out on top of a 5,598-strong field to take down the PokerStars Sunday Million.

Lawrence, who hails from Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom, could brag about two figure scores from poker until this week but now has a six-figure score that dwarfs his previous best achievement.

The up-and-coming grinder was part of a three-way chop in online poker��s biggest weekly tournament. Lawrence not only scooped $131,164 in prize money, but he also secured a $30,000 Platinum Pass for the PSPC in 2019.

Also part of the three-way deal were second-placed ��chonseSTEEE�� and fellow Brit ��designerboy�� who saw $97,728 and $107,896 added to their PokerStars accounts respectively.

German players dominated the 888poker $100,000 Mega Deep this week with no fewer than four players from the country reaching the nine-handed final table. Unsurprisingly, it was one of that quartet of player who walked away with the $19,250 top prize.

��Streusalz�� bested a field of 455 in the $215 buy-in event with their fellow Germans "IbetUfold_x" and "cube.com11" falling in fourth, fifth and ninth-place. Busting in seventh-place was the talented Dutchman Steven ��Kale333�� van Zadelhoff who collected $2,750 to add to the $32,500 he won from taking down the $100,000 Whale.

Brazil��s Leonardo ��LeoMattosAK�� Mattos took full advantage of a substantial overlay in the partypoker Super Sunday Championship Event to beat his previous largest online tournament cash by almost three times.

The tournament had an $82,000 overlay, possibly because so many partypoker players were still in or traveling back from the MILLIONS Grand Final in Barcelona, and Mattos eventually walked away with $83,500. Mattos was joined on the final table by fellow Brazilian Camila ��CamilaKons�� Maiara Kons who banked $25,250, which was also her largest cash and one that pushed her over the $1.2 million in winnings barrier.
