Hello everyone, the anniversary Sunday Million $10"000"000 has just ended.

Let me start with the fact that more than 55,000 players took part in the tournament! The prize money was more than 11 million dollars!!! The tournament lasted approximately 15 hours. Agree, these are not small numbers for online poker.

There were a lot of streams where you could watch this significant tournament live. But I didn’t notice any “action” and decided to continue watching when the stage will pass"babla" I would like to note that a lot of players from the CIS and especially from Russia and Ukraine passed the threshold of 1000 people, and when only 150 people remained in the tournament, there were about 10-15 of our players, and this is an excellent result!! !

Well, let's move closer to the significant prize money...

As you can see, the top 40 already had more than 20k bucks, which is not a small amount, but many wanted to get to the final table, which was quite difficult, because half of the players had a stack of no more than 10BB.

Ukrainian player IsltRoss made it to the Top 18? and won $39k Congratulations to him on a very good performance in the tournament.

These are the lucky ones who passed 55,000 people

Almost immediately the Russian player made minus 1. By the way, until the administrator turned off the chat, something wild was happening in it; there were about 1000 messages per minute with support for the Russian player.

Then another player with a short stack was eliminated almost immediately. Everyone collected the blinds and sometimes went all-in.... "Russian roulette" cannot be called anything else.... BB 5 million =) More than half have less than 10 big blinds.... and then who will be luckier. ..

As a result, after 5-8 minutes another one dropped out and there were 4 of them left...... it was the longest hour of my and probably their lives...

They decided to discuss the deal, it took about 25 minutes, because the chip leader wanted at least 900k, but according to the numbers it didn’t work out..... and they decided to continue the game. But, after 2 hands, the discussion of the deal was resumed again and it was all over an hour later. For a whole hour, 4 people decided how to divide the money, everyone wanted more, they argued and fought, but it seemed like they had come to a compromise.
