Chris "Moorman1" Moorman rounded off an incredible week with a 4th place in the FullTilt "Sunday Brawl" for over $23,000 in prize money and at least ten $40 knockouts as well.

 

The Cash Games.

The action continued to be relatively slow this weekend, although the ever present winner "Urindanger" managed to make over $180,000 this weekend in a series of heads up no limit hold'em games. The other big winners in the hold'em games this weekend were "GASSITT" ( $45,000), and "ImTheFranchise" ( 42,000). The big loser in these games was "Zeleni_iure" who lost over $100,000, as well as "KG1000" (-$90,000) and new FullTilt pro Cole South (-$54,000).

Over in the big PLO game a few new faces have emerged over the weekend, with the player called "PostflopAction" the biggest winner, netting over $135,000. "ICallSoWhat" and "KG1000" also did very well, both netting over $100,000 for the weekend. It seems these new faces have been making their money at the expense of the old guard, with Brian Hastings, David Benyamine, and "trex313" all posting six figure losses over the weekend.

Gus Hansen also briefly showed up, dropping about $50,000 in a couple of hours before leaving. It's good to have the great Dane back - the big games just aren't the same without him.
