Sunday Briefing: Six Players Earn Close to Six-Figures in the Sunday Million

August 24 2009, Mickey Doft

It was business as usual on Sunday as the main online poker sites ran their standard Sunday majors. Collecting the heftiest payday was Jarod “shawry5” Shawcross with $146,483 for a third place finish in the PokerStars Sunday Million. A deal was made between the final six players and despite having the shortest stack, “tysonduke23” battled back to win the $30,000 that was put aside for the winner, earning $117,009.38 for taking down the tournament. It was a similar story over at Full Tilt where the final three players made a deal. The biggest prize went to third place finisher “techie_sims” ($102,027.41), but “kuhnboy5” notched the victory for a $100,985.14 score.
