PokerStars Create Two More Millionaires; Jake Cody Feeling Supersonic

PokerStars have created two more online poker millionaires, after players from Taiwan and Bulgaria won the Challenge All-In Shootout final tables. Jake Cody defeats 1,714 players to win the Supersonic.

PokerStars promised to create five millionaires, in the space of two months. This weekend they created number seven and eight.

Recreational online players Juanyi ’JUANYI828’ Lin, from Taiwan, and ‘citoject’, from Bulgaria, managed to weave and bob their way through a series of free-to-enter online tournaments, before winning their respective six-handed All-In Shootouts, this weekend, to become the 25th and 26th players to win $1m+ prizes playing online poker.

The two players join Poland’s ‘bladsonpoker’ and Russia’s ‘CccpVodka’ who each won $1m first prizes playing in $5 Spin & Go lottery style 3-Handed S&G’s. The other four millionaires have come from the live felt courtesy of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Grand Final in Monte Carlo: Erik Seidel picked up €2,015,000 for his victory in the €100,000 Super High Roller, Dzmitry Urbanovich picked up €1,446,600 for his runner-up finish in that event, Adrian Mateos bagged €1,082,000 for winning the Main Event, and Charlie Carrel picked up €1,114,000 for victory in the €25,000 High Roller.
