PokerStars celebrated ten years of the Sunday Million by dishing out a $970,000 first prize, and their official New Jersey launch goes off without too many hitches.

The PokerStars Sunday Million is 10-years old, and 45,353 people attended the birthday party.

There wasn’t cake. There weren’t any candles. But there was $11,011,800 to distribute among the 8,208 people fortunate enough to fall on the right side of the money bubble.

In a bid to make sure the $10m guarantee was met, PokerStars introduced a re-entry clause as a one off. 9,706 people re-entered creating a combined number of 55,059 entrants. It was the fourth richest online poker tournament in PokerStars history.
