'John Legend' wins Million Dollar Sunday tournament on Americas Cardroom

It’s not just the tournament winner’s name that made last night’s Million Dollar Sunday so legendary. As John Legend conquered the $1 million guaranteed online poker tournament with a pair of Aces, the poker world also witnessed the largest-ever poker payout broadcast on Twitch.

“Congratulations to John Legend on his huge win and to all the players who participated in Sundays big $1 million guaranteed,” said Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “This one was definitely for the history books and we look forward to setting new records in October, four times over.”

The Million Dollar Sunday is Americas Cardroom's signature tournament that runs throughout the year. The U.S.-facing online poker site first introduced the $1 million online poker tournament earlier this year, bringing back a Sunday million-dollar tournament to U.S. shores for the first time in four years. Thanks to Americas Cardroom's growing popularity in the United States, the online poker site was able to increase the frequency of the Million Dollar Sunday.

While $200,000 was guaranteed for first place, late-night tournament play into early Monday morning encouraged a final table deal among the remaining players. JohnLegend finished first with $104,883, plus an additional $20,000 for winning the first-place deal hand with bullets. HollAtYaBoi followed in second with $81,848. Whitelime, RGarrido8 and EpicStation rounded out the top five with $109,605, $96,035, and $88,629 respectively.

The online poker tournament attracted some big-name players, including Joshua Beckley, a member of the 2015 WSOP November Nine. All eyes were on the would-be champion throughout the course of the evening. While he didn’t quite make the final table, he did manage to cash, securing $1,200 for finishing in 150th place.
