Mexico-based “LilFishAtL” added his name to the long list of past Sunday Million winners this weekend, topping a star-studded field of 5,718 players to get his hand on $141,000. His haul could have been even larger, but he opted to make a deal when the tournament was three-handed. Joining "LilFishAtL" in the deal-making were Greece’s “1morepls,” who scooped $104,000, and the talented Grayson “gray31” Ramage, who bust in second but not before grabbing the largest prize of the trio, a cool $156,406.39.
Romania’s “bica999” was another player banking a big score on Sunday night thanks to a win in the Sunday Warm-Up, which was worth $75,050.
