Sunday Briefing

Austrian pro "WATnlos" helped himself to a cool $145,895 on Sunday, Nov. 12 when he outlasted a field of 5,840 entrants to win the PokerStars Sunday Million.

The $215 Sunday Million kicked off at 7 p.m. GMT on Nov. 12 and the champion crowned 12.5 hours later. The time to complete the event may have been longer had the final table of nine not been whittled down to one in slightly more than one hour.

WATnlos headed into the final table with a substantial chip lead, but there was still plenty of work to do. Each of the finalists were guaranteed $9,276 for their efforts, but this minimum payout increased to $26,840 almost immediately because three players bust during the first orbit.

According to the PokerStars Blog, Noway's "John-F69" was the first to be eliminated from the final table, his ace-eight losing to a dominating ace-queen, and he was followed to the rail by Harry "Iamapoopie" Lodge and Rodrigo "rodrigobmz" Borges.

WATnlos then ended the run of "IFIBETIMGOOD". The chips went into the middle preflop, IFIBETIMGOOD holding ace-king and WATnlos a pair of sevens. An ace on the flop put IFIBETIMGOOD into the lead, but a seven on the turn won the hand for WATnlos.

Another coinflip, queen-jack against pocket eights, saw "??toneecho??" head to the sidelines in fifth-place and "PIPI tapis!" bust in fourth-place, before "Tr!pleeee" fell in third-place to send the tournament into the heads-up stage.

"Zumi10" was WATnlos' heads-up opponent, one with a narrow five big blind chip advantage. WATnlos won the first few meaningful encounters, which prompted the final duo to discuss and agree on a deal that left $20,000 for the eventual champion.

That champion was WATnlos who called Zumi10's all-in bet with ace-nine of diamonds and improved to a pair of aces to beat the pair of threes in the hand of Zumi10.
