PokerStars celebrated its fifth birthday last night with a $5 million guaranteed tournament and a Lamborghini for the winner. Only Luke "Bdbeatslayer" Vraber saw this wish come true.
Just a few hours ago, PokerStars' special anniversary Sunday Million came to an end. 59,128 enrollers constituted the biggest field in Sunday Million history, generating a record breaking $11,826,6000 prize pool and $1.6 million for the victory.
The largest Sunday Million up until last night took place exactly a year ago when Poker Stars celebrated Sunday Million's fourth year in the poker world.
36,169 players registered to the event back then, a record that was blown to pieces as 22,959 more poker enthusiasts signed up for Sunday Million yesterday.
It took almost five hours of play before the bubble burst. 7,450 players were either lucky or good enough to have a payday, but the American Luke "Bdbeatslayer" Vrabel is probably the happiest among these, having beaten 59,127 contestants and winning the coveted Lamborghini Gallardo this morning.
When the final table was set, the nine finalists actually decided to make a deal, meaning that they split the 1-9th prize pool. The German player "wrzr123" was chip leader at the time and therefore took back home the biggest prize of $844,209
When this deal was sealed, the nine gamblers continued to play for the dream of the car.
All in all it took 14,5 hours of play to find the Lamborgini Gallardo's new owner.
