Fred_Brink Wins PokerStars Sunday Tournament w/ 1.5 Million Guarantee

What happens when you offer a $1.5 Million Guaranteed Pot on a Sunday tournament online? If the PokerStars Sunday Million is any indication, you’ll find yourself with 8,431 entrants and a massive $1,686,200.00 total prize pool. This ensured a cool $204,198.82 to the winner and with that kind of prize money, you can be certain this tournament is taken seriously.

With such a monstrous field, did the online poker wizards stand a chance? Once again proving that poker is a game of skill, online phenoms Andy McLEOD and Zach “nofingclue11” Clark emerged as chip leaders going into the final table despite the sheer number of poker wannabes in their midst. Unfortunately for both, despite their strong showings, Andy McLEOD and nofingclue11 ended up in 4th and 5th place respectively. Hey, don’t feel too bad for them. That was $75,879.00 for 4th place and a very respectable $59,017.00 for 5th.

The final three saw RProps, betofetus and Fred_Brink battling for glory with Fred_Brink dead last with only 13,553 in chips. The three discussed a possible deal and luckily for Fred_Brink, the deal was never agreed upon. With RProps having 43,391,921 in chips and betofetus having 27,284,169, Fred_Brink seemed to be well on his way out. But Fred_Brink doubled up against RProps and it was RProps who was out in third place with $93,584.10 burning a hole in his pocket.

Betofetus had a slight chip advantage over Fred_Brink during heads-up play and this went on for 51 hands. But Fred_Brink won a 70-million chip pot in hand 52 with a bottom set and the tournament ended four hands later with Fred_Brink sealing a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Betofetus still goes home with a $137,425.30 payday. Not bad for a day’s work at the poker tables.
