Pokerstars Sunday Million Results

The Pokerstars Sunday Million had a prize pool exceeding $1,400,000 this weekend. The Sunday Million is the biggest weekly tournament every week, usually drawing 7,000 to 8,000 players per tournament.

This was a special monthly $500 buy in. This reduces the field, thought the prize money remains the same. The field this time was over 2,800 dedicated online players.

The event was won by MattSuspect, a veteran internet tournament player who was making his second trip to a Pokerstars Sunday Million final table. Throughout much of the final table, the big stack was Aussie_Jase, who came into the final round holding the most chips. This didn't last and he busted out in 4th.

When the tourney got down to MattSuspect versus gunning4you, the two players agreed on a by-the-chip split of the final jackpot. This is the typical way these events go, where the final players limit the chance they lose a bunch in the head-to-head showdown. I'm not sure if I like the idea of these kind of deals, but maybe I'm just old school.

As Pokerstars stipulates, the players had to play for who won the final 30,000 chips. MattSuspect won the final showdown, giving him the edge in the final chip standings.

The Fult Tilt $400,000 guarantee boasted 2,300+ players this week, with first prize being $81,000. That prize went to MathforPoker. He pushed out Toppsett, who went all-in with a 10-9 offsuit against a Q-10 suited. A Queen came on the flop and that was just about it.

Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker have these big tournaments every weekend. Come expecting to play for most of the day. The Sunday Million has been known to last 11 or 12 hours, or even more. So you need to stock your fridge before you start. You don't want to lose that extra hundred thousand to make a trip to the nearest drive thru window.
