* Snapcall419 wins the Sunday Million* EPT Barcelona begins this week
You get an idea of the extent of pleasure and competition within the Sunday Million by noting the time the overall table report gets published. Uncomplicated one-two-three events tend to be written up whilst you log in on a Monday morning. The more complex battles featuring familiar names don't usually appear until you're to your second cup of coffee.
So as I poured my third cup of coffee this morning the signs were good.
Snapcall419 of Canada would win it , but not until he'd beaten the highly talented Frenchman (boxing out of Malta) Yorane "viirusss" Kerignard into the runner-up spot, albeit after a two-way deal. What's more in third place was $trateGema from Germany, who happened to complete within the same spot last week. For the record those two pay-outs amount to $166,710.40, greater than $30,000 greater than either first prize. You lose some; you win some, so that you can speak.
Anyway, the entire report by Kristen Bihr is superb as always and really worth a couple of minutes of your morning, even supposing now overly caffeinated.
Here's the end result in full.
