It was a huge week in the $1K Roundup, as Online Player of the Year candidates picked up valuable points and even bigger paydays.

At Full Tilt, Jeremiah “Believer8219” Vinsant continued his dominating run, picking up $78,500 and moving himself into 17th place overall. In the past two weeks Vinsant has racked up victories in the Sunday $100,000 Guarantee and the Wednesday Quarter Million.

At Absolute Poker, Jason “N0VASKY” Koon defeated Nick “BAXAMENTS15” Maimone heads up for the win. Interestingly, both of these guys were the last two players to be featured on the Online Zone. You can catch up with those interviews on Card Player TV.

For their heads up appearance, Koon moved into 13th place and Maimone moved into third place.
