PokerStars Sunday Millions Results - James Campbell Wins the Sunday Millions Jackpot - Pokerstars Online Tournaments

The Pokerstars Sunday Million had another strong outing this week. The event takes place every Sunday night, with Pokerstars offering some of the biggest weekly jackpots on the internet.

It was thought by some that the American ban on payment processors for online gambling would hurt these internet tourneys. But the Sunday Million field is as large as it was before the processors pulled out of the event in January.

The field this week was 7,109 players. That meant the prize money added up to over $1.4 million this week alone. The default jackpot for the winner is $200,000. The more people enter, the higher the jackpot goes.

This week's winner was James Campbell, who goes by the handle "jcamby33". Campbell is a well-known internet poker pro. The final table had several known internet poker figures, including "cpfactor" Danny Smith. Smith was put out of the tournament by jcamby33 himself, finishing with a solid third place and over 70 thousand dollars in winnings.

By the time James Campbell got heads up with the second place finisher, Chick X, he had a stack of $43 million chips. Chick X was one all-in from the lead, holding $27 million in chips.

The final two agreed to a chop, and agreement by which they agree to bargain an end to their showdown. They settled on a modified by-the-chips chop, which more or less gave them money based on the percentage of chips in their stacks.

One final hand was played for the final $30,000 of the jackpot, which is a standard rule of the Pokerstars Sunday Million competitions. James Campbell won this hand. He took home $180 thousand, somewhat short of the default 200 thousand, due to the chop.

The final hand saw Campbell dealt two Kings, while "chick X" received a Queen and Jack off suit. The flop came 4-7-5 all off suit, so that no straight or flush possibilities existed. The final two cards came Ace and 9, giving Campbell the win with a pair of kings.
