PokerStars can proudly sponsor online tournaments with prize pools that exceed a million dollars. The Sunday Million guarantees $1.5 million and depending on the number of entries to the tournament, the prize pool keeps building up.
Winning the Sunday Million is just like winning a big live event; it has recognition among poker players. Beating a field that has over seven thousand players is an incredible task that has a fine reward. This Sunday was no exception: there were 7863 players that registered for the Sunday Million and the prize pool increased to $1,572,600. At the end 1,170 places were paid.
On any tournament with such a big prize pool, the competition is fierce and the field is massive. It took 12 hours for a winner to be declared. The players sitting on the final table were: PedrinhoxX, umacorso, mertgem a2z1to3, KJB11, Slims, ParisTiltOn, chicagoali and HectorPva. There were great battles at the final table as well as bad beats, but that is part of the game.
