No Chopped Pot At Sunday Million, Priest Scoring On Million Dollar Challenge
TourneyMan on October 12th, 2009
Lots of interesting news over at PokerStars.
* After months of final table players making deals and chopping the pot. one player held out to the brutal end and came out on top. That was one “sumai” who kept the whole $225,000 first prize at the PokerStars Sunday Million for himself.
* The new PokerStars hosted TV show, the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge, has been airing for a few weeks now, and it has a promising young champion in Reverend Andrew Trapp. That’s right, Reverend. This non-traditional Catholic priest got himself a spot on the show to play for his church and apparently he’s really good, having earned $25,000 already, plus a $100,000 seat against Daniel Negreanu for the $1 million grand prize. In order to get onto the show, Rev. Andy had to beat some 10,000 players in an online tournament (or come in the top 10, really) and then submit a winning video convincing producers to cast him on the show. Looks like they made a good call.
