Sunday Briefing: Ukraine's "LEXER1986" Wins Sunday Million for $185K

With the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in full swing, it would be easy to forget that the online poker world is still rolling along and that huge prizes are played for while a large section of the community is battling in the Bahamas.

The biggest prize of the weekend is nestled in the PokerStars account of Ukraine’s “LEXER1986” who took down the January 10, 2016 edition of the Sunday Million. LEXER1986 outlasted 5,988 opponents, including Canada’s “AlexS1” to get his hands on the juicy $185,661.70 first-place prize.

Australia’s Matthew “mjw006” Wakeman was another PokerStars players helping himself to a sizable sum on Sunday thanks to winning the Sunday 500 for a cool $57,468.
