The McLaren Turbo Series is in full swing at PartyPoker, with a handful of the high-octane events having already crowned their worthy champions. The $109 buy-in $100,000 guaranteed Sunday Party is one such tournament, and it is "tutuia" who will forever be remembered for taking down this event.
The McLaren Turbo Series edition of the ever-popular Sunday Party attracted 1,104 entrants, which were more than enough to surpass the $100,000 guarantee on the prize pool, with $110,400 paid out.
Team PartyPoker's Jaime "jamiestaples" Staples and his brother Matt "MatthewStaples" Staples were among the entrants, but neither managed to get going.
"OOKevOO" was going great guns until their tournament ended in a seventh-place finish worth $1,799 in total. "Pet3r Petrelli" joined the list of busted players when they fell in sixth for a $1,614 award.
Fifth place and $3,451, a significant jump from the previous payout, went to "LawyerDad68." Their prize was much larger, thanks to taking home $1,489 worth of bounty before their deep run ended.
"WickedWinzero" busted in fourth for $4,154, meaning the surviving players were guaranteed a podium finish.
"jesisdead" crashed out in third for $5,232, leaving "tutuia" heads-up against "dududantas" in a battle for the lion's share of the remaining prize pool. "dududantas" span off during the final home straight, and made do with an $8,135 payday, leaving "tutuia" to become the tournament's champion, and receive $13,503.

It was not only the Sunday Party that smashed its guarantee because the McLaren Turbo Series edition of the Sunday Carnival did the same. A field of 1,687 entrants created a $33,740 prize pool, and a total first place prize of $3,253 for a $22 buy-in.
With bounty payments included, nobody at the seven-handed final table took home less than $556. That sum went to "atlantispirit" who came unstuck in seventh and was the first casualty of the final table.
"Cha-Ka" and "T-777" were the next to find themselves on the sidelines, albeit with $686 and $681 to keep them company.
Then came the untimely demise of "LovFISHandCHIPS" in fourth, whose $1,814 payout means they can definitely afford more of their favorite dish! Some $1,007 of that sum stemmed from busting 20 opponents before they themselves crashed out.
Heads-up was set when "omegalulz" bowed out in third for $1,978. That heads-up battle pitted "varessi8888" against "Knight1989." Both of the final playwrs locked in at least $1,898 for their efforts, leaving a four-figure final bounty to play for. "Knight1989" captured an additional $1,350 after they came out on top, meaning they took home $3,253 for their $22 investment, leaving the runner-up to bank $2,049.
| Rank | Player | Bounties | Prize | Total Prize |
