Sunday Briefing

PokerStars once again saw a massive turnout for its Sunday Million tournament thanks in part to halving the $215 buy-in to $107.50. A huge field of 20,540 entries saw the $1 million guaranteed prize pool more than double to $2,054,000 of which more than $212,000 was reserved for the champion.

That champion turned out to be ��mdf92�� who walked away with $212,109 for his efforts. Mdf92 took full advantage of the re-entry format of the half price Sunday Million and put his second bullet to good use. The champion was joined at the final table by a host of talented players including Artem ��veeea�� Vezhenkov who had won the Sunday Million twice previously. Vezhenkov eventually fell in sixth place for $39,036.

Mdf92 found himself heads up with Brazil��s ��ladygambiti�� with a massive lead of 169 million to 36.1 million. The deficit proved too much of a gap for the Brazilian to bridge.

As usual, there were some substantial scores at PokerStars this week. Here is a pick of the best of them.

Over to 888poker now, where Russia��s ��EvnomiYa�� triumphed in the $100,000 Whale to turn $1,050 into a most impressive $31,200; the Russian defeated the United Kingdom��s ��FatStacksY0�� heads up to leave the Brit to collect the $20,800 consolation prize.

Argentina��s ��largomen1�� won the $35,000 Turbo Mega Deep for a $8,575 score, ��ILoveToPlay�� walked away with the $5,375 first-place prize of the $25,000 Sunday Crocodile and ��DonMaxiQQ�� became the $50,000 Sunday Challenge champion, collecting $11,077.

A total of 1,044 players got into the $215 buy-in tournament, which left partypoker nursing a near $42,000 overlay, an overlay that dnvz23 took full advantage of.
