On Sunday March 30, 2008, PokerStars held the quarterly $1,000 buy-in version of the Sunday Million. 1,869 people put up the big bucks to play in this tournament, generating a prize pool of $1,869,000. With such high-stakes action – first place was set to earn $367,000 if no deal was struck – it’s no surprise that the final table was full of online rounders.
The top three finishers agreed to a by-the-chips chop with $30,000 on the line for the ultimate winner. BrokenTPot hit the rail in third shortly thereafter, leaving UH Big Tex and Governator vying for the title. UH Big Tex eventually trumped his opponent, laying claim to $245,737 and the championship.
Here are the final results:
1) UH Big Tex - $245,737
2) Governator - $237,200
3) BrokenTPot - $200,370
4) dannyred99 - $106,533
