Sunday Briefing: Pora Dumitru Adrian Triumphs in the Sunday Million
While majority of the poker community’s attention was fixated on the goings on in the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas, thousands of grinders were busy attempting to avoid the news emanating from Nevada while they concentrated on helping themselves to huge scores in the various Sunday Majors of online poker.
Online poker’s biggest weekly tournament is the Sunday Million at PokerStars, an event that lived up to its billing again this week as 5,899 players took to the virtual felt and created a $1,179,800 prize pool.
The Sunday Million ended in a heads-up chop this week, Germany’s “callmuckty” collected $152,712.11 and the eventual champion, Romania’s Pora Dumitru “pora adrian” Adrian banking $165,836.59.
