8,326 players took to the virtual felt on Sunday August 10, 2008 for the Poker Stars Sunday Million. With the newly increased guarantee of $1.5 million, the players who came to play added to that by a little bit, generating a total prize pool of $1,647,200. 1,200 players earned money including Full Tilt players Scott Fischman and Scott Clements.
As the final table got underway, Daniel “ziggy47” Bokesch was bringing up the rear with the lowest number of chips. However, the talented online rounder, who has amassed more than $800k in lifetime tournament earnings to date, made it to heads-up play against Daniel Kochan, aka puntkno. In the end, ziggy247 emerged victorious claiming the title, the top spot and the nearly $200,000.
