Any online poker tournament player worth their salt wants to win the PokerStars Sunday Million. Not only does achieving such a feat come with a huge cash prize, but the champion also has bragging rights among peers.

In August 2011, “DaGoddfather” was part of a three-way chop in the Sunday Million before he went on to claim victory for $163,877.79. Fast forward almost five years, and he has gone and done it again, this time topping a field of 5,401 players to bank $168,945.98.

Jonathon “whollydflush” Prested finished in second place in this week’s Sunday Million for a $125,843.30 score.
