* Pora Dumitru “pora adrian” Adrian wins the Sunday Million
Another year of the WSOP Main Event nearing its end
WSOP update
That is nearly that. The World Series of Poker is just hours away from the last day of play before the break and the final table later this year. Another glorious (or not so glorious depending on results) summer is about to end.
If you’ve been following our Main Event coverage you’ll know that it was very nearly so for several members of Team PokerStars.
Marc-Andre Ladouceur has made a habit in recent years of going deep in the Main Event.
Marc-Andre LadouceurHe did so again this year, but fell short in 139th place. It was also a steller year for Jen Shahade (okay, technically PokerStars’s mind sport ambassador), or at least she will think that when the dust clears on her 204th place. Congratulations to both of them for making it so deep.

Sunday Million
With dramatic events in Las Vegas taking place at the same time it was up to Martin Harris to draw some of that attention back towards the Sunday Million, which he did in trademark detail and style.
As he reported it was Romanian Pora Dumitru “pora Adrian” Adrian who got the better end of a two way deal with callmuckty of Germany. First prize after all that work? A not-to-be-sniffed-at $165,836.
Here’s that result in full.
