The first elimination at the final table took place 40 minutes after the final nine sat down. ��Relthor1301�� moved all-in for eight big blinds from the cutoff with ace-four, OMGRubCasco raised to 4.4 million with pocket eights, and ��MadMustach3�� moved all-in for 1.3 million with ace-king. A king on the flop gave MadMustach3 a much-needed chip boost and also sent Relthor1301 to the rail.
Eighth place went to ��Richie2412�� when he or she committed their final 11 big blinds with jack-ten and lost to OMGRubCasco��s pocket jacks. MadMustach3 open-shoved from the small blind for 15 big blinds with ace-nine and lost to the king-ten of ��smart747�� courtesy of a ten on the flop.
OMGRubCasco then returned to the role of executioner by cracking the queens of ��SenorValmano�� with ace-king; an ace on the flop would have been enough, but he or she also caught a king on the turn and a second ace on the river.
Smart747 was the next to fall by the wayside, their king-queen lost to the suited yet dominated king-eight of OMGRubCasco before OMGRubCasco sent Germany��s ��Lucky Luc78�� to the rail in fourth-place.
Canada��s Ryan ��newguy89�� McEathron was sent packing after OMGRubCasco won 11 consecutive hands, the last seeing their ace-nine beat McEathron��s dominated ace-deuce. This gave OMGRubCasco a five-to-one chip lead going into the heads-up battle with ��shaundmaster.��
Shaundmaster, who qualified for the Sunday Million via a $7.50 satellite, started to claw his or her way back into contention, but the fight back was halted when a cooler of a hand saw shaundmaster all-in with ace-queen and OMGRubCasco calling with ace-king. A king on the river meant OMGRubCasco had won the Sunday Million to go with their TCOOP title from a few years ago, but congratulations to shaundmaster who turned $7.50 into almost $95,000.
