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:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	SwedisRotKuk	$187,504
2nd	miamihans	$136,092
3rd	D brickwall	$76,320
4th	Shepstar	$61,056
5th	THE SHERIFFZ	$45,792
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:

Place	Name	Prize
1st	imgrinding	$90,734
2nd	im_the_dirt	$55,691
3rd	ESPIGA	$36,452
4th	lackingaces	$29,082
5th	jrbick	$22,009
6th	superaids	$15,827
7th	vinson135	$11,623
8th	jrbrown2bsu	$9,100
