“nevermore dm,” a player from Belarus, won the Sunday Million.

The Sunday Million event at PokerStars has been a favorite in online poker for many years. This tournament has been luring poker players to the poker room for years with a consistent $1,000,000 guarantee.

Previously, the famous event was conducted with a buy-in of $215, but in 2019 it was halved and Stars was in favor of it since the $109 buy-in and $1 million guarantee attracted a large number of new players.

This time around, the event attracted 10,507 entrants (including 2,696 re-entries), exceeding the prize pool guarantee of $50,700. Not excessive, but very tangible.

A middle limit poker player from Belarus using the alias “nevermore dm” was able to defeat such a large field. Since 2006, the Belarusian has been a PokerStars regular.

Limeira was the chip leader at the final table, but “nevermore dm” won the event with a small stack. Despite this, the Belarusian was able to double up on the Brazilian and become the stack leader. After a little period of time, he was able to defeat his opponents.

The last hand of the tournament started with a huge raid from “nevermore dm” holding Q-Q and was followed by an all-in from “Pade25” holding J-7. For the Belarusian, the call was immediate. The participants were dealt 2-9-A-4-8, and a Belarusian poker player named “nevermore dm” won the event. There were 1,711 participants with minimum payouts of $89 or more.
