Steven "SvZff" van Zadelhoff (22nd - $3,174.44), Steven "Zugwat" Silverman (31st - $2,835.29), and Kevin "KevBoyStar" Stani (33rd - $2,835.29) each posted solid showings in the Sunday Million. A four-handed deal took place, and in the end, "sexylady409" was the sole survivor. The key hand occurred when, with three players left, "sexylady409" shoved from the small blind for about 43 big blinds with K8. Chip leader "luizsanchez4" called from the big blind with 99 but failed to hold up when the K spiked on the river, giving "sexylady409" a commanding lead before taking it down a few hands later.
