Two online poker players win over $100,000
Both the first and second-placed players at the Poker Stars Sunday Million tournament won three-figure sums this weekend.
Some 6,742 players began the competition but the two most successful contestants ended up with prizes of more than $100,000 following an arrangement between the pair, reports Poker News.
The two players in question, Mazinho1977 and UMTerp, agreed to a cash deal as they reached the final stages of the event – which meant that there was an extra $30,000 up for grabs and both players were guaranteed six-figure prizes.
All of these moments came after SUGAR5892 lost the substantial lead he had held earlier in the day in two big hands and ended up finishing fourth.
Other players to finish in the top ten included brsavage, roni99 and Iberico. Nikov and Tango44 also made it into the list.
Poker Stars’ weekly tournament frequently attracts thousands of online poker players to the site.
