Irish player sincinaty118 can be proud of his performance in the Pokerstars Sunday Millions online poker tournament over the weekend – he (or she) scored $421,971 as the winner despite a massive entry field of 26,925 that generated a $5.3 million prize pool – well above the guaranteed $5 million.
The winner could have claimed thousands more, but opted instead for a five-way chop in the closing stages of the game.
Facing Israeli player FLasHBa3k in the heads up, sincinaty118 managed to prevail and claim the main prize, leaving the Israeli with a still-impressive second placing check for $261,359.
