20 000 CROWD POKERSTARS TOURNAMENTS
Weekend's action hectic on the world's biggest online poker site
Initial reports on the weekend's online poker tournament activity at Poker Stars.com indicate a full and action-packed weekend attended by over 20 000 entrants to popular events such as the Sunday Hundred Grand, the Sunday Warm-up, the Sunday Million and the High-Stakes Showdown.
Poker Stars still accepts American poker players in tourneys that build significant prize-pools and therefore big winner payouts.
Illustrative of these high end prizes is the biggest of the regular Sunday tournaments - the Sunday Million. This weekend, despite a four-way chop that left an extra $30 000 for the first place finisher, the main prize easily topped $150 000.
Canadian player Zutzman pocketed $152 537.87 for the win, with Finnish runner-up Pehtoori taking home $134 484 and the third and fourth finishers also breaking the $100 000 payout level.
