The $6 million guaranteed PokerStars Sunday Million 19th Anniversary is over, and Brazil's "GutAoAllin" is the player who will forever be known as its champion. The Brazilian left 28,443 opponents in their wake as they padded their PokerStars bankroll with an incredible $391,436 after a four-handed chop at the business end of the event.

"GutAoAllin" entered the nine-handed final table with a substantial chip lead over the rest of the finalists. Their stack was almost 2.5 times larger than any other player's, but emerging victoriously was far from a forgone conclusion.

Sunday Million 19th Anniversary Final Table Results

_{*reflects a four-way deal}

The first elimination was confirmed only a minute after the final table's action began. "gutAoAllin" min-raised with queen-eight of diamonds, and "Rsaxo66" three-bet with ace-ten of clubs, leaving only a third of a small blind behind. The action folded back to the initial raiser, who jammed, and "Rsaxo66" called all-in. Two queens on the flop left the at-risk player drawing extremely thin and they crashed out despite turning two pair.

A cruel hand resulted in "RhoNin9" heading to the rail in eighth place at the 15-minute mark. Looking down at pocket aces under the gun, "RhoNin9" min-raised, and the players folded around to "KkkEndriK" in the small blind. "KkkEndrik" three-bet all-in with pocket nines for a little under ten big blinds, "Kepalas89" folded their ace-eight of diamonds in the big blind, but "RhoNin9" quickly called all-in with their pocket rockets. A nine on the turn catapulted "KkkEndriK" into an unlikely lead, and when "RhoNin9" missed on the river, the final table was down to seven.

Those seven became six with "Kepalas89"'s exit a few minutes after "RhoNin9" had their aces cracked. "Kepalas89" made a play for the substantial blinds and antes by raising two-thirds of their stack from the button with pocket threes. "desbone13" three-bet with king-queen from the big blind, and "Kepalas89" called off the two big blinds they had behind. A king on the river won the coinflip for "desbone13" and reduced "Kepalas89"'s stack to nothing.

The first six-figure prize of the Sunday Million 19th Anniversary went to Austria's "Ayronn" as the clock ticked past the 30-minute mark. Chip leader "gutAoAllin" found aces in the cutoff and min-raised. The button and small blind ducked out of the way, but "Ayronn" was dealt pocket sevens in the big blind and was going nowhere. "Ayronn" decided to try to end the hand there and then with a 24 big blind jam. Obviously, "gutAoAllin" was going nowhere with the best Hold'em starting hand. A snap-call and a few moments later, the aces remained the best hand. "Ayronn" bowed out in sixth for $110,774, while "gutAoAllin" extended their lead at the top of the chip counts.

A mistimed triple-barrel from "brizionz13" resulted in them handing their stack over to the already flush "gutAoAllin." "brizionez13" opened on the button with ace-four, and "gutAoAllin called in the big blind with king-queen. "gutAoAllin" check-called on the jack-deuce-six flop, on the nine of clubs turn, and on the ten of spades river. Unfortunately for "brizionz13," their river bet was a shove into the straight of "gutAoAllin," and they headed for the showers, albeit with $155,400 to show for their ballsy play.

The action continued four-handed for ten minutes or so before the players paused the tournament clock and discussed a deal. However, no deal was struck, and play continued. Two more deal discussions happened without bearing fruit, with "KkkEndriK" seemingly being the sticking point. Finally, after five rounds of discussion, the final four players agreed to the numbers on their screen, and play continued.

The deal worked in "desbone13"'s favor because they crashed out in fourth and banked $331,509 instead of the original $218,003 payout. They came unstuck after shoving 15 big blinds with ace-nine suited from the cutoff and running into the dominating ace-jack of "KkkEndriK." An ace and a jack on the flop left "desbone13" on the ropes; they were drawing dead by the turn.

Here's What to Expect From the PokerStars 2025 SCOOP

Heads-up was set after "AT_prodotico" busted at the hands of "KkkEndriK." Their final hand saw "KkkEndriK" min-raised on the button with pocket aces and instantly called when "AT_Prodotico" three-bet all-in for 8.5 big blinds with king-four of hearts. "AT_prodotico" flopped a four and turned a king, but a second ten on the river counterfeited their hand, and they headed to the exits with $395,759 in tow.

"KkkEndriK" held a 314,469,654 to 254,410,346 chip lead over "gutAoAllin" at the start of heads-up. The blinds were 3.5 million/7 million with an 875,000 running ante. It took almost 30 minutes for the tournament to conclude, which it did after the following hand.

From the button, "KkkEndriK" min-raised with seven-six of spades, and "gutAoAllin" called with king-jack. A four-deuce-queen flop with two spades saw the "gutAoAllin" check-called a continuation bet. "gutAoAllin" check-called on the turn after improving to top pair, leading to a ten o the river. "gutAoAllin" checked again, and "KkkEndriK" took the bait, firing an all-in pot-sized bet on the river with their busted flush draw, and "gutAoAllin" wasted little time in calling.

"KkkEndrik" fell at the final hurdle yet took home $436,013, the tournament's largest prize, but "gutAoAllin" is the player who wrote his name into PokerStars history books; the $391,436 they collected wasn't too shabby either.
