Felipe "mojave14" Ramos (11th - $8,588.89) and Adam "Roothlus" Levy (27th - $3,531.88) made deep runs in the Sunday Million, each making the final three tables. A heads-up deal at the end guaranteed each player about $200,000 with $20,000 still left to play for. "Akademnuk" and "Kabira" didn't waste much time, getting the chips into the middle in a standard race. "Kabira," the shorter stack, looked to hold with 55 against the AJ of "Akademnuk," but the board ran out A2293 to lock up the victory for "Akademnuk."
