Online Poker: Fred_Brink Wins Poker Stars Sunday Million

PokerStars Sunday Million

The new $1.5 million guarantee for the PokerStars Sunday Million kicked off last night, and 8,431 entrants bought in for the event, generating a prize pool of $1,686,200. That left more than $204,000 for the first-place finisher if no deal was made at the final table.

After 8,429 other players had been sent railward, it was Fred_Brink versus betofetus left gunning for the top prize. The final table had run down without a deal having been made, and the final two players wound up playing for the full payouts. As a result, only the two heads-up players left the table with six-figure paydays, and there was an almost $70,000 prize difference between first and second place. Fred_Brink eventually reaped the benefits of avoiding a deal when he took down the final pot to win the $204,199 first-place prize.

The final results were:

1. Fred_Brink — $204,199
2. betofetus — $137,425
3. RProps — $93,584
4. Andy McLEOD — $75,879
5. Zach “nofingclue11” Clark (aka CrazyZachary) — $59,017
6. Godfatti — $42,155
7. HappyOldMonk — $29,509
8. djmib2 — $19,391
9. tpooch — $11,803

There was more than $50,000 on the line in the heads-up match, and only the first-place finisher would leave the table with a six-figure payday. All six of those figures went to HosniMubarak when he took out his final opponent to win the event.
