It’s that time again, as another Sunday is in the books with tons of money won. Let’s waste no time and start off with the Poker Stars Sunday Million.
The Poker Stars Sunday Million saw 7001 players show up to play the ever-popular $200+$15 event. After 11 hours, a champion was crowned, but not before the final two players chopped it even heads-up, leaving $30k for the eventual winner. The final table included a few notables, such as Duffman08, and ShankingYou, who has been on a hot streak in 2008 thus far. ShankingYou fell just short, losing to Iron Henry, who got into the tournament from an 11 dollar satellite. Not a bad investment at all for Iron Henry.
