Over the weekend, PokerStarsheld a special $5 million guaranteed Sunday Million as part of its December festival. As a result of the inflated prize pool, a colossal field of 31,439 entrants showed up and the prize pool swelled to $6.2 million, more than the second place finisher in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event received. It was one of the largest prize pools in the history of online poker.

A six-way chop ended matters and saw payouts between $241,000 and $489,000 awarded. Norway’s TrondheimAAAwas the big winner of the 14-hour affair and came into the final table with 103 million in chips, over two-and-a-half times the next closest person.

Here’s how the deal went down, according to the PokerStars Blog: “TrondheimAAA was still the overwhelming leader with nearly 125 million, Zarmilwas next with about 57 million, and the other four were all in the 27-37 million range. Both chip-chop and ICM-based figures were presented, in each case leaving $50,000 for which to play, and working from the ICM numbers a few tweaks were made and a deal was agreed upon.” Here’s how the payouts ultimately looked:

1. TrondheimAAA – $489,130.83
2. straßenjupp – $268,725.21
3. Zarmil – $325,775.16
4. tgassen – $265,743.51 (tgassen)
5. EVITS_AK – $275,802.74
6. manipulatoor – $241,074.70 (hbo06)
7. alwaysdegen – $96,014.70 (alwaysdegen)
8. Ivan Barros – $71,177.89 (ivanbarros)
9. Donkab0mber – $52,754.64 (donkab0mber)

Tiago tgassenGassen (pictured) was the fourth place finisher. The Brazilian ran Q-J into K-Q on his final hand and ended up with $265,000. This was his second career final table in the Sunday Million, following a fifth place run in 2012 for $52,000. He is ranked #250 in Brazil and is in the top 2,600 worldwide.

Sixth place and a payout of $241,000 went to Poland’s hbo06, who turned in his largest score to date by a factor of 21. His previous largest score was worth $11,000 and came by virtue of winning the Big $22 in May. He plays as manipulatooron PokerStars and dajmiczipsyon 888 Poker.

Players who cashed outside of the final table combined for $4.2 million in winnings and the PocketFives community had 772 in the money finishers in the Sunday Million. Non-PocketFivers snatched $5.0 million, or 80% of the prize pool.
