Coming in as the chip leader was Jim “Mr_BigQueso” Collopy with a stack of over 17 million in tournament chips. Following close behind was ultimate winner “kesher79”, with over 13 million in chips. Three of the final table players came in as short stacks and with 200K/400K blinds, they didn’t last very long.

After the smoke settled it was a heads up battle between rS.Wisdom and kesher79 with the latter holding a 3-2 chip lead. Only six hands into heads up play, kesher79 raised from the button to 1.8 million (the blinds were 300K/600K with a 60K ante) and was called. The flop helped came Jh Td 2h which rS.Wisdom checked. Kesher79 bet 2.4 million and was called quickly by rS.Wisdom. The turn likely made rS.Wisdom think he was holding the best hand when the Ac fell, making Aces and Tens for him. He then check-called when kesher79 bet 6 million and both players saw the river bring the 2s. rS.Wisdom again check called an all-in bet from kesher70 for 19 million only to see kesher70 turn up pocket two’s for quads.

Kesher70 took hom $195,975.50 as a reward for making it through the field of almost 8,000. rS.Wisdom received $132,143.48 for his second place finish. If you’d like to try your hand at the next PokerStars Sunday Million, read our review and sign up today to get a special deposit bonus.
