Online Phenomenon Wins PokerStars Sunday Million

ISLE OF MAN -- PokerStars, the world's largest online poker site, announces "ckingusc" as the winner of the Sunday Million. Only six months after winning the PokerStars World Championship
PokerStars Lobby  of Online Poker (WCOOP), the online phenomenon took down the Sunday Million on March 22. Widely known as Carter King, "ckingusc" is a well-known figure in online poker.

For the WCOOP victory, 'ckingusc' beat out 2,185 of the worlds best to take down the title. For the Sunday Million, he outlasted a field of almost 8,000 players in the $215 buy-in weekly tournament to take the top prize.

With the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) only days away and players looking to hone their skills in preparation, the Sunday Million welcomed a total of 7,906 players to the virtual felt to compete for a prize pool that became $1,581,200, gently putting the $1.5 million guarantee to a quiet shame.

Victory in both the WCOOP and the Sunday Million has earned King a combined total of more than $1.4 million. Money aside, the achievement of winning two such major titles against massive fields of the world's best poker players is what really sets King apart from the pack.
