The first millionaire of the current ‘PokerStars.com Makes Millionaires’ promotion has been made, with Russian player ‘CccpVodka’ winning $1,000,000 after just 355 seconds of poker play on PokerStars, the company announced this week.
The $5 Spin & Go tournament started at 12.29 a.m. (April 23) Moscow time, and concluded at 12.35 a.m., making it a very happy night for the new Russian millionaire.
The runner up was ‘partalios’ from Greece, who won $100,000. The third-place player was ‘shooLarr’ from Russia, who also won $100,000.
The first-ever $1 million Spin & Go was also won by a Russian player – ‘sss66666’ on 12 January, although ‘sss66666’ took a comparatively lengthy 13 minutes and 26 seconds to join the club (see previous report).
