MrSmokey1 wins PokerStars Freezeout

By Arthur Crowson

The youngest World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Steve Billirakis, won $50,000 on Sunday by taking down the PokerStars $5,200 Freezeout.

As usual it was a poker-packed Sunday on PokerStars and hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded. Online player graslevy was the big winner, who took home $204,562 (deals nonwithstanding) for taking down the PokerStars Sunday Million. It was no small feat considering there were 7,254 runners in the event.

pitstache8888 had to do one better at the Sunday Hundred Grand because he was up against 21,424 opponents. pistache8888 did indeed overcome the competition and won $19,539 in the process. Not quite as much as the Sunday Million but a hell of a value considering pistache8888 only bought in for $11.

In other PokerStars Sunday news, DaMadPotter beat PLAYM0NEYPRO in the $10,000+$300 heads-up challenge to win an easy $20,000 while TheTotti finished first in the Sunday Warm-Up for $108,731.
