$11 satellite winner wins $1.1 million
The biggest Sunday Million in poker history concluded in a deal and an $11 grinder from Brazil becoming a millionaire.
The remarkable story of the record breaking Sunday Million took another exciting turn at the finale last night, as an $11 satellite winner took it down for $1,192,802.
Brazilan player 'AAAArthur' was a low stakes grinder with a previous best cash of $91, but they managed to best a record field of 93,016 entries to take down the third biggest tournament in online poker history.
They did a deal four handed and our new champion was the only player to take down a seven-figure score.
In case you are wondering, when you factor in the $11 satellite, that means AAAArthur has an ROI of 10,843,654%
This was a record setting Sunday Million because not only had PokerStars put a guarantee of $12.5 million on it, it also coincided with a worldwide lockdown where billions of people are self isolating and looking for indoor entertainment. Online poker is booming right now and no doubt we will see even more landmark tournaments from major operators in the coming weeks.
