A look at all the major stories from this past weekend on PokerStars.
Weekend highlights
* Another big weekend for TCOOP, with the Main Event won by Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt who won a first prize of $396,691
* Damianos "damourinio" Aslanidis wins the Sunday Million, earning $155,457
* LameR25 takes down the Sunday Warm-Up
Round up of latest results
I think it's fair to say that the weekend was dominated by events taking place in TCOOP 2016 this weekend, which came to a close yesterday. We'll get to that in a moment, but first let's pay traditional respects to the Sunday Major winners, specifically Damianos "damourinio" Aslanidis in the Sunday Million, and LameR25 in the Sunday Warm-Up.
In the former there was a heads-up encounter that promised a fitting end. Damourinio himself has more than $1 million of winnings on PokerStars, but he was up against Vladimir "vovtroy" Troyanovskiy, a player with multiple scores online and some $4.2 million won in the live game. As Martin Harris it was something of a scrap, and well worth reading about, which you can do here.
Meanwhile in the Warm-Up eventual winner LameR25 took his time winning the first prize of $84,420. As David Aydt reported for the Blog, he arrived at the final table some way off the lead, but set about reversing his position, doing so with aplomb. Read the report of that final table here.
Here are those two results in full:

The weekend's top online tournament winners
It's not every weekend that the Sunday Million pay-out looks small, but this was one of those weekends. Thanks to the back end of TCOOP, with Main Events and High Rollers filling the schedule, damourinio's $155,457 Sunday Million win was only the fourth biggest of the weekend, with TCOOP titles filling the top three spots.
