Despite the World Series of Poker still being in full swing, yesterday was a momentous and memorable day for online poker. The Poker Stars Turbo Takedown was back, while Poker Stars added a huge buy-in yesterday. On top of all of that, not one, not two, but three players each made two final tables of the majors yesterday! As usual, let’s kick off FTR’s coverage of the Sunday tournaments with the Sunday Million.
The Sunday Million saw some stiff competition come out yesterday, as DumpingKGB and aaaaaaaa have both had great success in the past. On top of that, KtheKing was back again, and made the Sunday Million final table for the second month in a row! When play got to 3-handed, the remaining players made a three-way even split, leaving $30k for the eventual winner. GoMukYaSelf had the best showing of them all as he took down the Sunday Million, and $135k! Supadphat had more on his table than the Sunday Million, though, as he also made the final table of the Full Tilt Poker $750k Guaranteed! How did he do? Keep reading to find out.
