PokerStars.com tournament sets new record

When PokerStars.com players come out to play, they come out in droves. The poker site set a new tournament record when 20,000 people showed up to play the Sunday Hundred Grand this week.

With a guaranteed prize pool, the Hundred Grand is just one of four major tournaments PokerSTars.com hosts on Sundays. It's also joined by the Sunday Warm-up, the Sunday Million and the High-Stakes Showdown, all of which offer players a shot at first-place prizes of thousands of dollars.

With its $10+$1 buy-in, the Hundred Grand is a shot at big money for small stakes. Lynna1, a player from the United States, was this week's winner, taking home $20,000.

The final table results were as follows:

Twenty grand was the lowest of the big prizes handed out on Sunday. Players who showed up for the High-Stakes Showdown were treated to a $72,000 top prize.

With a $10,000+$300 buy-in, this heads-up series of matches still fills up quickly. Lrslzk, a player from Finland, will be happy he made it in this week after taking down the top prize. The final table results were:
