PokerStars Sunday Million Anniversary: Take 2

PokerStars ran its Sunday Million Anniversary Take 2 tournament on Apr. 22 and the $10 million guarantee was not only reached, it was surpassed by more than $1.2 million.

Some 56,310 entries were processes which meant a prize pool of $11,262,000 was created. This gigantic sum is being shared among the top 9,296 finishers and the eventual champion will walk away with a cool $1,000,043 prize.

Norway��s ��Bjorg0010�� is the player who leads the way going into Day 2. The 7,159,399 chips in Bjorg0010��s stack is the most of the 735 remaining players, who are all guaranteed at least $1,102 for the efforts so far. Anyone reaching the final table will win $63,229 with the tournament��s champion becoming a millionaire.

PokerStars Sunday 500

Germany��s ��pappadogg�� emerged victorious from the PokerStars Sunday 500 after besting a star-studded final table that would not have looked out of place in a tournament of ten times the $530 buy-in.

First to bust from the final table was the former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Martin Jacobson, who collected $3,716. Jacobson was followed to the rail by the United Kingdom��s ��Kashmir_uzi�� and Brazil��s ��MrVibora��.

The Netherlands�� Joris ��BillLewinsky�� Ruijs fell in sixth-place before Sam Grafton fell in fifth-place. The talented Canadian Sebastian Sikorski, known as ��p0cket00,�� crashed out in fourth-place and the UK��s ��OLDWOLF133�� exited in third-place to send the tournament into the heads-up stage.

Matthew ��mjw006�� Wakeman, an Australian now living in Canada, and Germany��s ��pappadogg�� struck a deal to make the payouts more shallow. Wakeman collected $37,434 for his second-place finish, almost $5,000 more than the original payout. This left pappadogg to bank $39,851 and the title of champion.
