PKerBL Takes Down the Sunday Million at PokerStars
The Sunday Million put up big numbers for Poker Stars on Sunday May 11, 2008. 6,856 people signed on to play on Mother's Day at the online home of Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu, driving up the prize pool to an impressive $1,371,200.
HelmetSky was the first player eliminated from the table. His pocket sevens proved to be no match for Talgamer13's A,J after the flop yielded two more aces. Unfortunately, Talgamer13 wouldn't last much longer. He was the next to bid the competition farewell after Snitch24 outflopped him. Talgamer13 earned more than $12k for his efforts.
PKerBL then knocked out the next two players with some killer hands. He took out AQUA RAIDER with a seat of queens and kicked jp4est to the curb. jp4est held pocket queens this time, but they weren't enough to defeat PKerBL with a pair of cowboys.
FeFranco showed an A,7 in the same blind, crushing OllowainTim's hopes for a triple up. FeFranco went all-in a few hands later with a pair of fives. Unfortunately, PKerBL woke up with another pocket pair, aces and made a full house to punctuate the point. FeFranco received $54,848 for his fourth place finish.
PKerBL knocked out Snitch24 in third position and entered heads up play with 61 million chips to AQUA RAIDER's 7.5 million. AQUA RAIDER didn't go down without a fight. He lasted more than 50 hands before succumbing to PKerBL.
These are the final results:
1) PKerBL - $193,339.20 2) AQUA RAIDER - $97,355.20 3) Snitch24 - $68,560.00 4) FeFranco - $54,848.00 5) OllowainTim - $41,136.00 6) jp4est - $30,166.40 7) roniirani - $21,253.60 8) Talgamer13 - $12,340.80 9) HelmetSky - $8,090.08
