As we approach the one-year anniversary of online poker’s Black Friday, it is worth noting just how strong online tournaments are today. While the US government effectively shut out their citizens from playing online, the rest of the world has certainly picked up the slack. Tournaments on sites like PokerStars, iPoker, and Bwin are still going strong, with six and seven-figure prize pools the norm. PokerStars continues to lead the online poker world; however, there are still many options for those looking to play on a handful of sites.

This past weekend proved as much, as Party Poker, iPoker, and Bwin all had majors with prize pools at the quarter-million dollar mark.  These tournaments should only get stronger as we enter the summer months full of tournaments series and WSOP qualifying.  As such, the online poker world will begin to gain even more traffic as players hope to earn seats in events like the 2012 SCOOP, or even packages to the 2012 World Series of Poker. Be on the look-out for satellite systems that provide nice overlay for these bigger events. If you play your cards right, you could qualify quite cheaply for multi-million dollar events.  For now, there aren’t any major series, just the standard Sunday major tournaments. Below are results from the six biggest events of the past weekend:
