PokerStars Sunday Million Results

The PokerStars Sunday Million yesterday had the largest turnout ever this year in this normal $200 buyin event.  The tournament saw 8,063 entrants last night all trying to win that big money. 

This large turnout made for a large prize pool as well, the prize pool was $1,612,600 and that had to make the player that took home first place very happy. 

First place would be taking home about $208,000 as long as there wasn't any final table deal making.  There have been only two previous Sunday Millions with larger turnouts, there was the $1.5 million guarantee to celebrate the Sunday Million anniversary n March 11, 2007.  The other one happened on May 20, 2007 which had 10,894 entrants that were celebrating PokerStars' 10 billionth hand.

At the end of this Sunday's Million it was "s0stndrd" and "vm1124" playing heads up for the top prize.  The two players decided however to go ahead and make a deal that gave vm1124 who was the chip leader a guaranteed cash prize of $150,00 and s0stndrd $130,000 which left $30,000 on the line for the player that would take home the win.

Sostndrd eventually took over the chip lead and took home first place getting a total of $160,103, vm1124 took $150,000, third place winner DrunkPPlaya got $70,954.  Fourth place winner ShipThatISh got $52,410 and himpapawid got fifth place and $40,315.
