PokerStars was forced to eat a $1.2m overlay in their 12th Anniversary Sunday Million Special as Hulk9950 overcame 43,975 entrants to win the $970,000 first prize. 

When 34,274 people pay $215 to play in your poker game, and 9,701 of them stump up another $215 after hitting the rail, it has to be a success, right?

This weekend was paradise for the poker community. partypoker hosted some big buy-in POWERFEST events, there was a certain sporting event called The Super Bowl, and PokerStars guaranteed $10m in prize money for the 12th Special Anniversary Sunday Million.

The Sunday Million is THE flagship Sunday spectacular, and in the past, the loyal faithful have turned out in their droves to ensure $10m Guarantees are eaten alive.
