Looks like anyone can win the Sunday Millions.

ACECHIPCHASE..... On  April 3rd  this guy won a $215 seat in the Sunday Millions at Pokerstars in a $2 tourney..... 1 Winner in 85 entrants.

Up till then the most the guy ever risked was $3 in a tourney.

On  April 4th  he plays the Sunday Millions with that ticket and beats out 9748 other players to win  $ 272,977.58

One week later he is still playing $1.00 tourneys although he tried the big one again and finished 7514th out of 8603.

its happened atleast 100 times....thats why they have those satellites to the bigger tourneys.
i remember reading story about guy on Ultimatebet who won the badbeat jackpot of $60k at the time...and was normally a $1/2 player but after winning he went to the 25/50 and 100/200 tables and lost it all. lol

again...it doesnt take skill to win those 5k entrants or more tournaments..you have to hit every draw and every coin flip to stay alive. it always happens that if you get AK vs K4  the other guy with K4 will always win.

in my opinion the only reason you see the same guys playing them is because they are the ones who can afford to... the others just never cash

Anyone can win the Main Event too.

thats why theyre called donkaments

any donk can win

who are these lucky motherfuckers

I cant even get top set to hold up

Wow a person who plays micro tourns all the time strikes oil

 That is why I laugh when someone says poker is mostly skill and very little luck.  I think poker is 80% LUCK and 20% skill, but over the long haul, that 20% is crucial in getting you ITM and keeping you from regularly redepositing.

 

Watched his final table play with exposed cards, he ran very hot!

why in the world would you waste your time ever playing poker again after reaching a mountaintop of winnings you can only plummet from?
