Short-stacked Terris "tpreston" Preston was the first to be eliminated, during the 200,000/400,000/40,000 level. In middle position, reef2287 made it 900,000 to go and Preston went all in from the big blind for 5,510,041, with A?K?. A quick call from reef2287 revealed K?K?. The board ran out J?10?7?3?9? and Preston was out in ninth place for $11,068.40. Rabbiej fell several hands later. *xen opened to 950,000 in early position and, next to act, Rabbiej shoved for 8,275,320 with A?J?. *xen called with K?K? and won the hand as the board came 3?7?8?2?K?. Rabbiej took home $18,183.80 for eighth place. Out next was bigsexyKN, after making it 1,200,000 to play from the hijack. Carter "ckingusc" King re-raised to 3,055,050 in the small blind and bigsexyKN responded with an all-in shove for 9,058,276. King called with A?J?, but trailed bigsexyKN's A?K?. However, the board rolled out J?Q?3?6?8? and bigsexyKN was felted in seventh place for $27,671.

Craig "1GENERAL_TAO" Bergeron fell at 250,000/500,000/50,000. *xen shoved from the cutoff with a bigger stack than the button and the blinds. Bergeron found J?J? on the button and called all in for 8,925,126. *xen tabled K?Q? and managed to pair up when the board ran out 10?10?Q?4?3?. Bergeron pocketed $40,320.60 for his performance. Liqqa met the felt shortly thereafter. From the small blind Liqqa shipped it in for 2,830,206 with J?8? and was called by reef2287 in the big blind, who held A?8?. The community cards fell Q?K?8?A?6? and Liqqa was out in fifth place for $56,132.60.

At 300,000/600,000/60,000 reef2287 was eliminated by Carter "ckingusc" King. In the small blind reef2287 raised 1,800,000 and King re-raised enough to f reef2287 to an all-in choice. With 2,945,473 left, reef2287 called with 9?2? and needed help against King's 8?8?. The board delivered none, falling J?4?3?7?A?, and reef2287 took fourth place for $71,944.60. King wasn't finished, sending bbs99 to the rail at 400,000/800,000/80,000 soon after. King opened to 1,985,500 on the button and bbs99 min-raised, leaving 451,453 behind. King raised a little bit more and bbs99 called all in with 2?2?, which was racing against King's J?8?. The board came 9?3?J?K?4? as bbs99 departed in third with $88,457.20. These were the chip counts as heads-up play began:

Carter "ckingusc" King �� 48,778,949

*xen �� 30,281,051

The tables turned when *xen doubled up with A?K? against King's 4?4?. An ace hit the flop and gave *xen the chip lead. Then, at 500,000/1,000,000/100,000, the tournament looked over. With just over a 2:1 chip lead,*xen four-bet all in with K?10? and Carter King called for his tournament life with 8?8?. The flop and turn came 6?10?Q?K?, but the 8? fell on the river. King was back on top and was there to stay. The match ended a few hands later when *xen raised to 2,300,000. King shoved with the big stack and *xen called all in for 23,181,026 with 9?9?. King tabled J?J? and took it down when the board ran out 2?7?K?8?J?. *xen pocketed $130,607.12 for the runner-up finish, while Carter"ckingusc" King's victory in the PokerStars Sunday Million was worth $193,697.
