PokerStars.com, Full-Tilt players see dollar signs at Sunday events

By: Erin Warner

With this rate of growth, PokerStars.com may want to consider changing the name of its weekly guarantee to the Sunday Two Million. Yesterday's event drew 7,600 entrants for a new record prize pool of $1.5 million.

SwedisRotKuk was the beneficiary of the well-fed prize pool, earning $187,504 after making a deal with miamihans at this week's PokerStars.com Sunday Million.

But if he hadn't agreed to the arrangement, the Swedish champion would have made off with $215,222.

With the final table down to heads-up and miamihans out-chipped 2-to-1, the players broke to make a deal. They settled on a by-the-chips payout that gave $187,504 to SwedisRotKuk and $136,092 to miamihans, with $30,000 left for the champion as per PokerStars.com rules.

The final table results are as follows:

PlaceNamePrize
1stSwedisRotKuk$187,504
2nd miamihans $136,092
3rd D brickwall $76,320
4th Shepstar $61,056

6th 20princemild $33,580
7th Eskil $23,659
8th iamhiv $13,737
9th schmeek $9,005

Full Tilt Poker's $400,000 guaranteed event also soared above its promised payday, with 2,473 entrants boosting the prize pool to $494,600.

No deals were brokered at this tournament however, as eventual champion imgrinding came to the final table with a gigantic chip lead.

After crippling runner-up im_the_dirt minutes into heads-up action, imgrinding finished him off for a $90,734 prize.

The final table results are as follows:
