PokerStars had to add $29,800 to the Sunday Million prize pool this week as the 9,851-entries left a shortfall on the $1 million guarantee.

B4NKR0LL3R didn��t care about the overlay, in fact it worked in their favor as they came out on top of the huge field and was crowned the tournament��s champion. It was a case of third time��s a charm for B4NKR0LL3R as their third $109 bullet swelled to $105,728 after defeating Greece��s ��9cream4�� heads-up for the title.

All but one of the nine players who reached the final table netted a five-figure prize. ��rafaprihl�� was that one player, the Brazilian��s ninth-place exit being worth $8,133.

The player of the tournament was B4NKR0LL3R who locked up their first six-figure haul, which surpassed the $84,496 they were awarded for finishing fourth in a $2,100 WCOOP event in 2019.
