The $200 buy-in tournament, which was called the "$500K Guaranteed Special Event," attracted 3,057 runners, which surpassed the guarantee by creating a prize pool of $568,602. The event featured a minimum first-place prize of $100,000, though a heads-up deal between ��sweetster�� and ��pablito_21�� saw them take home $85,688.57 and $83,471.48, respectively.

Over on PokerStars, European Poker Tour Loutraki champion Zimnan ��Zimmy86�� Ziyard won $86,176.40 when he took down the Sunday 500. In addition, he also won a $55 NL Hold��em 2x Chance tournament at PokerStars for close to $16,000 which made it a nice Sunday for the popular pro.
