NFrost_10 cools competition in Sunday Million
By Sarah Polson
There was no shortage of online poker players looking to score bit in the PokerStars Sunday Million this week. NFrost_10 topped a field of 7,557 players to win the biggest piece of the prize pool this week.
The top 1,080 players ended up walking away with some cash this week as the prize pool once again reached up over $1.5 million to his $1,511,400.
Heading into the final table, Duffs#1fan had the chip lead with es_dame and NFrost_10 close behind him. Both of them would eventually outlast Duffs#1fan, who finished in fourth place, to take on each other in heads-up play.
The two were nearly dead even in chips and decided on a deal that gave them each $140,900.91, and then they played for a final $30,000 for the winner.
According to PokerStars' report on the action, heads-up play only took a few hands as NFrost_10 wasted no time taking the chip lead and then using it to head for the win. The two players ended up all in on a flop of J
9 7 with es_dame showing J
4 for top pair and a flush draw.
Meanwhile NFrost_10 turned up 9
8 for middle pair and a better flush draw.
The turn brought the 2 to seal the win for NFrost_10, and the 6
on the river was irrelevant.
The final-table results including the two-way deal are as follows:
| Place | Name | Country | Prize |
| 1st | NFrost_10 | United States | $170,900.91 |
| 2nd | es_dame | Denmark | $140,900.91 |

There was plenty of other poker action on PokerStars as well on Sunday. A player from the Netherlands topped a very European-heavy final table for a win in the Sunday Warm-Up, and Argentina saw a winner in the Sunday Two Hundred Grand.
Players from the United States had a heavy presence in the Sunday Second Chance final table, taking up six of the nine seats, making it no big surprise that an American won the event. However, the Sunday $5,200 Freezeout continued the international flavor of the Sunday events with an Australian and a Swede making a deal to chop the prize.
