Late Registration Has Come to a Close

Level 15 : 1,750/3,500, 450 ante

The late registration period has now come to an end after four hours and a total of 12,243 runners showed up for the massive special event of the Sunday Million, creating a $2,448,600 prize pool which almost doubled the guarantee that was set.

4,055 runners remain and of those, just 1,745 will be finding a payday. A min-cash will be worth $218 with the eventual champion pulling in $134,108 for their victory, along with whatever bounties they acquire along the way.

"mvfish": {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
"averageVlad": {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board came down {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts} and the aces of "averageVlad" easily took down the pot, dropping "mvfish" from the field.
