Online Poker Weekend: 'diegoaiz' Takes Sunday Million 0001

Online poker had a slow weekend as both the PokerStars Sunday Million and Full Tilt $750,000 Guarantee came up short of their designated prize pools, with the extended American Labor Day weekend likely holding down registration for the events. Those that were on hand, of course, enjoyed a few percentage points in overlay in the events as a bonus.

Stars Sunday Million

PokerStars saw 7,212 people sign up for the Sunday Million, meaning almost $58,000 was added in as an overlay by Stars. Several notables posted impressive showings. Among them were "TiltHappens" in 25th place ($3,000), Tim "Tmay420" West in 22nd place ($3,000), and Joshua "pbdrunks" VanDuyn in 13th place ($5,250). The chip counts to start the final table were:

diegoaiz - 14,567,593

krs528 - 1,873,454

With the blinds at 200,000/400,000 and an ante of 40,000, CodeRedRulez was eliminated in ninth place. From the small blind, IamUnlucky moved all in and CodeRedRulez called all-in with A?K?. Unfortunately for CodeRedRulez, the Q?2? held by IamUnlucky turned out to be very lucky on the 2?4?10?10?Q? board and CodeRedRulez earned $10,500 for ninth place. C j mcon was the next to fall. From early position, c j mcon moved all in for 2,209,324 with pocket sixes and was called by TheRodGuy's pocket eights. No six would hit the board, and c j mcon left with $17,250 for eighth place.

At the 300,000/600,000/60,000 level, Bury2k4 was eliminated. After krs528 limped from the small blind, Bury2k4 moved all in from the big blind for 4,585,714 and krs528 called. The hands were K?9? for krs528 and 5?2? for Bury2k4. Bury2k4 was caught making a movie and did not catch any helpful cards, finishing in seventh place for $26,250.

The next to be felted was UnbrokeN. After diegoaiz made it 1.8 million, UnbrokeN moved all in for 3,712,128 with 9?9? and diegoaiz called with A?K?. The flop was exciting, coming out 9?Q?8?. The J? on the turn gave diegoaiz a flush and UnbrokeN was unable to fill up on the river, earning $39,000 for 6th place. Krs528 finished in fifth place after pocket queens ran into FlopeDeNuts' pocket aces and made $54,000. FlopeDeNuts then went on to eliminate IamUnlucky in fourth place. With the blinds at 400,000/800,000 and an 80,000 ante, FlopeDeNuts moved all in from the button with the big stack of 47,727,580 and was called by IamUnlucky in the big blind. FlopeDeNuts held 7?6? to IamUnlucky's A?4?, and tThe board came out 2?7?5?4?2?, with IamUnlucky finishing fourth for $69,000.

A chip-count deal was then made between the remaining three players. The deal assured the following: $127,912.72 for TheRodGuy, $118,849.49 for diegoaiz, $116,687.79 for FlopeDeNuts, and $30,000 remaining for the winner.

FlopeDeNuts finished in third place after running 9?9? into diegoaiz's 10?10?. The board brought no nine, and FlopeDeNuts took home $116,687.79 for third place. The heads-up battle began with these chip counts:

diegoaiz - 54,743,802

TheRodGuy - 17,376,198

During the estimated 125 hands of heads-up play, each player managed to double up more than twice. In the end, it was diegoaiz winning the match. On a board of 2?4?10?, TheRodGuy check raised all in for 21,543,344 with J?4? and diegoaiz called with 10?9?. The turn and river were blanks for TheRodGuy, who finished as runner-up for $127,912.72.

The next level, 30,000/60,000/7,500, saw the elimination of StevoL_7 in eighth place. From the button, StevoL_7 moved all in for 476,678 and was called from the big blind by Steveee111.

FTOPS IX Main Event winner dubbeemin was the next to go. With the blinds at 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, dubbeemin moved all in for 656,084 with A?Q?.

Grabskia finished in fourth place when his A?2? could not hold against oldschool043's K?10? when the board came out 5?10?5?4?10?. Grabskia earned $41,400 for the excellent showing.

Flip This Cup finished in third. All in preflop, Flip This Cup held Q?Q? and was ahead of oldschool043's K?7?. The flop was excellent for Flip This Cup, coming out 8?Q?9?. Unfortunately for Flip This Cup, the turn and river came 5? and 6?, giving oldschool043 an improbable straight. Flip This Cup received $52,500 for the third-place showing.
