Sunday Million

As Jason Kirk reported for the Blog, it promised a lot and delivered it, notably to eventual winner buba971 of Ukraine who took the title and a first prize of $183,815 after a four-way deal, one that meant runner-up ivanbeograd of Serbia too the biggest share amounting to $195,867.

World Series
As we reported at the end of last week, both Jason Mercier and Daniel Negreanu were in the running for a bracelet at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Both had reached the last 15 of the $10,000 HORSE Championship, which must rank as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win anywhere in the world.
Neither Mercier nor Negreanu took the title (which went David Bach) but they did reach the final table. Mercier busted in fifth place, collecting $83,415, while Negreanu departed one spot before him in sixth for $61,667. But both players continue to impress in the Series.
