PokerStars Winter Series Trophy

The PokerStars US Winter Series rolled on last week and awarded dozens of winners across Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario as the series gets closer to culminating with the Main Event Championships.

PokerNews highlighted some early winners in the series, including Matt "5u1ly" Sullivan and Zach "KennyTheRipper" Gruneberg on PokerStars PA and "MartinChatwn" and "opedaddy" on PokerStars MI/NJ. Here's a look at some of the latest winners.

Two Titles in a Matter of Days for ��rkellyishere��

The past week was especially good for ��rkellyishere, who took down not one, but two tournaments during the PokerStars MI/NJ Winter Series.

In Event #17: $100 Battle Royale, ��rkellyishere�� captured the 345-entrant bounty tournament for $2,328 plus bounties. Then, this same poker player won Event #25: $100 Wednesday Storm for another $5,891, becoming the only player thus far in the series to secure multiple wins.

There were dozens of events last week on PokerStars PA for the Winter Series, including the $30,000 guaranteed Winter Series 20: $100 NLHE [Super Tuesday], which drew 321 runners and saw "KanyeIsaGenius6" taking the event down for $5,615.52.

Another big event last week was the $30,000 guaranteed Winter Series 19: $250 NLHE [Super Tuesday High Roller], which drew 159 runners as "KymLim" defeated "Unflappable5" during heads-up play to win $7,464.05.
