6,342 players showed up at PokerStars for the Sunday Million on December 9, 2007. This made the prize pool $1,268,400, giving 900 players a piece of the pie. gbmantis, who took down the Bodog 100k back in February 2007, headed to the final table. Victor Ramdin was the only PokerStars pro to make bank, finishing far away from the final nine in 326th position. gmantis played solid poker throughout, making it all the way to three-handed play against Fjusse and CHIPFLOW, a Japanese player. He received more than $68,000 for his efforts. However, the title and top prize of $182,396 belonged to CHIPFLOW. Here are the results: 1) CHIPFLOW - $182,396 2) Fjusse – $95,003 3) gbmantis - $68,367 4) rowang - $53,273 5) Tulkaz - $40,716 6) calmdwn1 - $29,173 7) gabrygabry - $20,929 8) squirtyb - $12,684 9) PimpJazzyJef - $7,864 Over at Full Tilt , 3,717 people paid to play in the $750,000 Guaranteed on Sunday. FTP had to pay out $6600 to meet the guarantee. Paul Sexton and Julian Gardner cashed in the tournament. However, it was Paul's dad, Keith Sexton, a stud specialist, who made it all the way to the final table, the first time we can recall seeing a “red” pro in that position. Also joining Sexton at the final table was rkruok, a familiar name to online poker enthusiasts. rkruok bid the table farewell in ninth position. Sexton followed him out the door soon afterwards as LivesWithMommy spiked a jack on the flop. LivesWithMommy made it all the way to heads-up play against waltripgolfpro. He had a more than two-to-one chip lead and took down the title in less than five minutes. Now that he's got more than $130,000 in poker earnings, he can afford to buy a home of his own.
