A massive 6,157 players hit the tables for the PokerStars Sunday Million event yesterday (15th), with the prize pool totalling a staggering $1.2 million dollars.

Hacken walked away with 1st place, and just over $176,000 dollars for his efforts (15% of the total prize fund).

Full Tilt poker had 1,127 players in it's $500,000 guaranteed. The top 108 players shared the prize pool of $563,000, with a first prize of over $125,000, and Ultimate Bet saw 896 players fighting for a top prize of $45,000 in their $200,000 guaranteed.

Altogether the three big boys hosted 8,180 runners with a total prize fund of around $2,000,000. Yes - 2 million dollars. 1st place finishers shared $346,000 between them, while the average entry fee was a teeny tiny $245.

Online poker is illegal huh? Online gambling will come crashing down huh? I'll believe it when I see it :)
