Poker Stars Starts Year off Right
The New Year has sure brought in some great numbers for the Poker Stars online
casino Sunday Millions tournament. The current flailing economy and lackluster
numbers only to be heightened by the media, have apparently not had an affect on
the internet gambling players of the world of poker. The Poker Stars tournament
was projected to have a good turn out, but the final count was greater than they
could have expected. The Sunday Million tournament recently set the pace for the
rest of the year with a whopping 8,504 players. Online casinos that pull those
kind of numbers straight off the bat are generally going to do well for the
remainder of the year if they keep up the good work that they have been doing.
The Sunday Millions tournament hosted by the online casino, Poker Stars, had a
very intriguing prize pool that was a cool $1.5 million guarantee which was over
taken by the player buyouts and set a high for the website at $1,700,800. This
enabled the online casino to have at least 1,260 cash prize winners in their
year starting tournament. The tournament started like many online casinos do,
with the top players in their league. The three players that finished on top at
the high stakes online poker tournament were: Prom Queens, stoledog, and
USA_20080920. The one who came out on top at the end was the one and only
stoledog who walked away with the highest cash prize of $180,794. He won the
final game after a long head to head challenge with USA_20080920 who gave him
the additional $30,000 which made his total winnings go from $150 to $180
thousand.
The second place winner of the online casino tournament went home with
$108,182.93. Prom Queens who placed third in the Sunday Millions Poker Stars
online tournament, went home with $150,000. Over all this was definitely a great
way for the website to start out its new year. We look forward to hearing more
about the Poker Star’s online casinos and their tournaments.
