A five-handed deal took place in the Sunday Million, guaranteeing each player a six-figure score. On the final hand, "adrian_114iz" min-raised the button. A call from "uWi$hIamDeaD" delivered a 5?4?4? flop which both players proceeded to check. The 9? turn got the action going and afer a bet, three raises, and a call, the chips were in the middle of the table. With 5?4?, "uWi$hIamDeaD" flopped a full house and needed to dodge two outs because "adrian_114iz" tabled A?9?. The river was the Q?, securing the win for "uWi$hIamDeaD."

Kyle "KJulius10" Julius entered the final table of the Sunday Million II with the chip lead. Tim "weygang" English was second, so it was of little surprise that the two established pros found their way to heads-up play.

Julius began heads-up play with a slight chip lead but found himself trailing after doubling up English on the sixth hand. At the 250,000/500,000/50,000 level, English (17.6m) min-raised on the button. A call from Julius (39m) landed a K?9?5? flop where Julius check-called 1.111 million to see the 3? turn. It was more of the same for Julius who check-called 2.777 million. When the A? hit the river, Julius checked to English who shoved for abut 12.7 million. Julius called with 9?7?, but English tabled K?5? to double up.

Eight hands later, though, Julius reclaimed the lead. English's button min-raise was three-bet by Julius. A call from English led to an 8?4?2? flop which both players checked. The 9? turn fell and Julius bet about 1.8 million, only to see English raise to roughly 4.2 million. Julius called, the 3? river popped off, and Julius checked. English shoved with the bigger stack, but was snapped off by Julius with 3?3? for the rivered set. With 10?9?, English's top pair was second best.

The tournament ended 27 hands later with your standard race when English three-bet all-in for about 20 big blinds holding 5?5?. Julius showed K?J? and took it down when the board completed 9?9?4?4?K?.

Steve "Illini213" Barshak took down the Sunday Warm-Up outright, closing it out with a little bit of good luck. He four-bet shoved A?3? and was called by "Woher" who tabled 7?7? and looked to take the big chip lead. However, the board rolled out K?9?2?4?A? as Barshak made a pair of aces on the river to seal the victory.

PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up II ($500K Guaranteed)

When play of the Sunday Warm-Up II was on the final-table bubble, a bust at both tables not only left eight players remaining, but also put Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari third in chips. He navigated his way down to the final three players before getting his chips in with 3?3? against the Q?10? of "cyberkanguru." A J?10?6? flop appeared to spell the end for Akkari, but he spiked the 3? on the turn to win the hand and survive.

After "cyberkanguru" exited in third place, Akkari found himself at a slight 1:1.45 chip disadvantage against "tonkaaaa." However, Akkari was the sole survivor after the 85-hand heads-up duel. Among those hands was an Akkari double with A?9? against A?6?. Akkari had three-bet shoved with his better ace and held up through the A?J?5?J?7? board.

Still, "tonkaaaa" held the lead before the key hand took place. With K?K?, Akkari three-bet from the big blind and "tonkaaaa" called to see a Q?10?2? flop. The chips soon were in the middle as Akkari's overpair held up against the J?9? of "tonkaaaa."

It ended 22 hands later when "tonkaaaa" shoved for about 13 big blinds with K?5?. A call from Akkari with A?6? would prove to be the last action of the match as the final board came down J?4?4?10?7? to seal the deal for the Brazilian pro.
