Sunday Briefing: Sunday Million Ends in a Three-Way Chop

Sunday Million

This weekend’s Sunday Million surpassed its $1 million guarantee by almost $100,000 and featured a three-way chop where the final three players banked a combined $340,958.02.

It was “Bager1988” who claimed the most of the Sunday Million’s prize pool, netting $146,004.41 with runner-up “elcoysa” collecting $104,193 and “FloweerBoy” turning $215 into an impressive $90,760.61.

This week’s Sunday Million takes place one day later, on Boxing Day, due to Sunday being Christmas Day. The slightly later Sunday Million has a massive $2 million guaranteed prize pool.

Another huge payday was enjoyed in the $1,050 Sunday Grand NLHE, which this week brought 282 players, creating a prize pool that beat the $200,000 guarantee by $82,000. The lion’s share of the prize pool went to Canada’s “OLD TIME GIN” who banked $53,694.74 and bragging rights among his peers.
