There aren't many players out there who can claim to be multiple winners of Full Tilt Poker's Sunday Brawl, but Jonathan Karamalikis is now one of these people. His
online poker resume already rather impressive, Karamalikis won the weekend major for the second time to add to his virtual trophy-case. He won it for the first time about 4 months ago, and on Sunday, he turned into a repeat-offender, picking up $25.3k for his efforts.
The event, which featured a buy-in of $240+$15, and to which 597 players registered, creating a $119.4k prize-pool, saw no deals made at the top. Karamalikis defeated a player known as TheAlligatorNo1. The runner-up's share of the prize-pool was $17.3k. Karolis Drybauskas was the only other high-profile professional who finished within the top 10. He ended up in 6th spot, picking up a $5.2k reward.

The only other 5-figure winner of the event was 3rd place finisher PickyTooth, who finished with $108.9k.
