• Platinum Passes in Manila
joker180785 wins the Sunday Million
It was a tense affair in the Sunday Million this week. In football that usually means a dreary nil-nil draw, but in Sunday Million poker it tends to mean the winner was hard to predict until the very last hand.
As Jason Kirk reported, the heads-up contest was no one sided formality, with eventual winner joker180785 overcoming a tough opponent in dennysramos2 of Brazil. This came after a deal of the money had already been arranged. At stakes a pride, and the prestige associated with a Sunday Million title. It was good stuff, and well worth reading about.
