Brazilian sensation Eduardo "srjtdyfgukh" Silva enjoyed a delightful Sunday session online at GGPoker thanks to helping himself to a $93,710 score. Silva came out on top in the $1,050 Sunday Main Event HR, which is part of the WSOP Online series, sending GGPoker ambassador Anatoly Filatov to the rail in second-place after an intense heads-up battle.
A field of 472 paid $1,050 for the chance to become this event's champion. Most of the $500,000 prize pool was reserved for those who reached the final table, with all but one walking away with a five-figure score to show for their efforts.
Fabian "sickerwayner" Bernhauser was the final table's first casualty, bowing out in ninth for a $9,371 addition to his bankroll.
"ninototoroko" of Brazil and Cyprus' Alkivaidis Stamatis were the next players to find themselves with fresh air where their chips once laid. The former received $12,496 while the latter scooped $16,664.
The final six became five when "GambitPoker" of Israel was knocked out; they collected $22,222, a score the late Paul Magriel would have loved. China's "KamiG" and Leonid "Pwndidi" Yanovich's elimination, worth $29,633 and $39,517, left only three stars in the hunt for the title and the lion's share of the $500,000 pot.
Heads-up was set when Alexander "Mucurinha" Debus departed in third for $52,697, leaving Filatov and Silva to battle one-on-one for the title. It was Silva who came out on top and received the $93,710 top prize, meaning Filatov was jilted at the alter, his second place finish coming with a $70,272 payout. Filatov had earlier finished second in the $840 Sunday High Rollers Bounty Special for $15,610; not a bad day in the office.

Theologis Conquers the $2,100 High Roller Bounty Event
The WSOP High Rollers: $2,100 Sunday Heater HR Bounty Turbo may have only drawn in 65 entrants but what a superb bunch of players they were. Any of them would have made a worthy champion, but it was Alex Theologis who was the last man standing and the recipient of a $40,561 prize, which included bounties.
The final table was a star-studded affair at the start. It became less shark-infested with the untimely demises of Jonah Silverstein, Konstantin Maslak, and Italian high roller Dario Sammartino. Fifth-place finisher "BIRACITY" was the last of the finalists to head for the showers with a four-figure sum for their efforts.
WSOP bracelet winner Tyler "TheRayGuy" Cornell saw his tournament end in a third place finish, before Leonard "LottoLarry" Maue fell by the wayside in third, sending the tournament heads-up.
Both Theologis and Nick Maimone locked in more than $16,000 from the main prize pool, leaving the juicy bounties up for grabs. Theologis brushed aside Maimone to add $24,250 to his haul, meaning a total prize worth $40,561. Maimone's second-place finish meant he turned his $2,100 investment into $26,857.

Rokita and Bertalia Chop the $555 Sunday Second Chance
Roland Rokita and Breno "Computron" Bertalia chopped the WSOP Online: $555 Sunday Second Chance and shared more than $81,000 as a result.
After such luminaries as Dylan Linde, Chao "DuanChao" Duan, Marcelo "Pettigcards" Pettinati, and Aram "Pusha T" Zobian crashed out, only five players had the opportunity to got their hands on more than $50,000.
Three of the final five hailed from Brazil. The old adage "strength in numbers" didn't work for the Samba stars because they each fell short of an outright victory.
Rafael "BruxoR10" Caiaffa was the first of the Brazilian trio to dust off their stack. Russia-based Argentinian Ivan Luca fell in fourth, before Ivan "uPayMyOnix" Limeira found himself void of betting tokens. Bertalia and Rokita struck a deal to lessen the pay jumps before Rokia rolled over Bertalia to bank $44,687 and leave his Brazilian opponent to claim a $37,303 consolation prize.
