KAZAKHSTAN’S “NEWCOMER113” WINS PKO SUNDAY MILLION

Yesterday’s $109 Sunday Million was a little bit different. Instead of the usual format, the Milly played out as a Progressive Knock-Out, with bounties building on the heads of each player as the tournament went on.

It proved very popular, with a massive 16,281 entries creating a $1.62M prize pool. With half of that designated to bounties, it meant lots of players were able to lock up huge scores without even reaching the final table.

Of those who did, it was Kazakhstan’s “Newcomer113” who went all the way. He defeated Russia’s “Bykladjo” heads-up to take it down with no deal for $70,097 plus $35,971 in bounties.
