This weekend saw PokerStars slice the $215 buy-in for the Sunday Million in half yet the $1 million guarantee still remained. By the time late registration had closed, a staggering 25,114 players had bought in and created a guarantee-busting prize pool of some $2,511,400.
With only four players remaining in the hunt for what was a $255,289 first place prize, the final quartet paused the tournament to discuss a deal. Those discussions proved fruitful and saw each player lock up a potentially life-changing sum of money.
finished in fourth place and banked $136,445 with “Mtss7” busting in third place for a $143,294 score.
