Poker Stars is known in the online gambling world as a leader in excellence, offering a supreme selection of poker games as well as traditional internet casino games. The group is also quite celebration-happy, often finding excuses to break world records, or acknowledge milestones, and this week is no different as the internet gambling firm notes the fourth anniversary of the Sunday Million regular tournaments, marking the special date with a record-setting guaranteed prize pool totaling $4 million. The marketing scheme for the celebration seemed to pay off, as 36,169 players signed on to the internet casino to try their luck and increasing the prize pool to an amazing $7,233,800 – the largest ever Sunday million jackpot pool ever. Poker Stars has made clear that they intend to keep their spot as the world’s largest online poker provider. The first place winner of the day’s main event was that of ‘Richie Rich ZH,’ who walked away a millionaire, earning $1,141,510 for his efforts. The heads up found Richie Rich facing off against screen name ‘lankeshwar,’ who got a cool $754,774.69 for coming so close. The third place prize was given to ‘petinvest7,’ and two others were awarded six figure sums from the final table’s action. Meanwhile, competitor Full Tilt Poker’s online casino was bursting with excitement with the site’s fifteenth edition of the internet casino group’s Full Tilt Online Series of Poker (FTOPS). The main event attracted 5,645 players, and seven of the nine players that made up the final table managed to keep their share of a chop worth $200,000 each a piece. ‘BadCardsAA’ came out on top, taking home the first place prize of $430,000 for the $2,500 buy-in. |
