PokerStars put up big numbers this weekend despite the FTOPS VIII activity. For the Sunday Million 7,112 people paid to play – that’s more than 250 who entered the same event a week ago. This brought the prize pool up to a tasty $1,422,400. traction1 walked into the final table with the chip lead. He held nearly 15 mil of the big ones. However, traction1 bled off his chips until kared69 and his pocket queens ousted him from the competition in a disappointing seventh place.
kared69, who hails from Alberta, Canada, took control of the table and knocked out KILLER ACE in fifth place. Then, he took out bestbuy82 in third and headed into heads-up play with a clear advantage against etushekki. The final two did not make any deals to chop the remaining prize money and kared69 raked in the last pot, adding more than $200,000 to his PokerStars bankroll.
These are the final results:
1) kared69 - $200,558
2) etushekki - $100,990
3) bestbuy82 - $71,120
4) Stefano/Zio - $56,896
5) KILLER ACE - $42,672
6) draqq - $31,293
7) traction1 - $22,047
8) Genius005ca - $12,802
