Players come in droves to Full Tilt, PokerStars.com tournaments

By Erin Warner

PokerStars.com enjoyed its biggest Sunday Millions event to date last weekend, gathering 6,740 players and $1.3 million in prize money. The turnout created a new record for the company, making the event the biggest weekly poker tournament in the world.

By finishing in first place, player Legato scooped up the largest portion of the tournament's pot, pocketing $132,000. But a six-way deal divided up most of the final table money.

The results are as follows:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	Legato	$132,143
