PokerStars Sunday Million -Quick- Recap For May 11th, 2008.
May 12, 2008
PKerBL Wins Heads-Up Match Against AQUA RAIDER.
This Sunday’s PokerStars Sunday Million attracted 6,856 entrants, shattering the $1M prizepool by over $300,000!
The largest poker tournament on the planet also drew some of online poker’s best players, with all of them focusing on one thing: the $193K first place prize!
This week’s Sunday Million at PokerStars lasted a shade under 12 hours, with the final table being occupied by some top-ranked online players.
9-handed play soon turned into heads-up play, with ‘PKerBL‘ holding a huge 10-to-1 chip advantage over his opponent, ‘AQUA RAIDER.’ His lead would prove to be unsurmountable, and AQUA RAIDER would go out in a strong second place. Since I wasn’t watching first-hand towards the end, I’m not too sure a chop was arranged. If there wasn’t, PKerBL will have taken home a nice first-place prize of $193k!
Here is a quick breakdown of the final 9 and payout structure:
1) PKerBL - $193,339.20
2) AQUA RAIDER - $ 97,355.20
3) Snitch24 - $68,560
4) FeFranco - $54,848
5) OllowainTim - $41,136
6) jp4est - $30,166.40
7) roniirani - $21,253.60
Talgamer13 - $12,340.80
9) HelmetSky - $8,090.08

May 11, 2008
Event #8 NLHE Shootout Event Yields $256,000 Prizepool.
Event #8 of the FTOPS VIII series over at Full Tilt Poker attracted some of online poker’s best players to battle it out for the $50k+ first place prize. In all, the $535 buy-in event brought in 512 entrants, all vying for the title of FTOPS champion for this No Limit Hold Em Shootout tournament.
Play would last for over 9 hours before a champion was crowned. That particular champion would be a player by the name of “GoToChurch,” who clawed and battled his way to heads-up action against “Boondy.” In the end, ‘GoToChurch’ would beat his opponent for the FTOPS Event #8 championship, winning $51,200 for his efforts and a special FTOPS gold avatar and jersey!
Special shout-outs to “apestyles,” who made a deep run at the final table, finishing in 13th place.

-Jornx- Wins $109 Rebuy For FTOPS Event #7 Title.
May 11, 2008
$102k Payday For Jornx; Erick Lindgren Goes Deep.
The 7th event of this season’s FTOPS has been run and won. The event provided great value for the players with over 550k in the prize pool for only a $109 buy-in. The rebuy + add-on event initially had a guaranteed prize pool of 500k, but this figure was well and truly exceeded with 2675 rebuys and 1041 add-ons.
Player “jornx” from the Netherlands won the event and pocketed over 102k for his efforts. The final hand of the day was a great end to the tournament. Jornx was all in against his opponent pre-flop with AJ vs A3 suited. Both players flopped a pair of aces with player “sebop” also flopping a flush draw. Jornx’s hand held up and he took the event down. Jornx was too strong for his opponent during the heads up play and continually outplayed his opponent, definitely earning his well-deserved win.
Erick Lindgren was the best of the Full Tilt pros finishing in 13th place for $4532.14. Lindgren is continuing his good form in FTOPS after also cashing in the event #4 shootout.
