Online Poker -- livelikunger Wins Poker Stars Sunday Million

Sunday was a big day for many online superstars as they fought for their share of the millions of dollars up for grabs. Over at Full Tilt, Shannon "BLUFFforRENT" Shorr took down the Sunday Mulligan for over $48,000.

Once heads-up play began, a deal was struck giving the lion's share of the remaining prize pool to eventual winner, livelikunger.

Here were the final table results:
