Irish player sincinaty118 won $421,972 in the Sunday Million $5m guaranteed special this weekend. That’s quite a bankroll spike heading into the festive season. Don’t expect a lump of coal in their stocking this Christmas morning.
That massive Sunday Million was part of the PokerStars December Festival, a huge jamboree of promos, big guarantees and giveaways that last until 20 December. Find out more about it here. December Mission Week starts today. It’s super easy to opt-in and you could win up to $25,000. Find out more about December Mission Week now.
sincinaty118 wasn’t the only big winner. There was a three-way chop in the $1m guaranteed Sunday Warm-Up between nowayyaright ($146,922.87), KingOfThe$ea ($165,000) and Shiko21 ($129,996.22). Read the full Sunday Warm-Up report.

Deal or no deal?
It’s ‘no deal’ for Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden. He wrote an interesting piece about his final table machinations here. Even when three-handed at the EPT Grand Final and playing for huge amounts of money… PokerStars Head of Poker Communications Lee Jones adopted a different view (in a small fun tournament). Read his opinion here.
Rafa Nadal to play at EPT Prague
Rafa Nadal will be playing a charity event at EPT Prague, which we’ll be covering live. Nadal will be playing against, among others, football legend Ronaldo and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu. Should be fun.
Marital bliss
There was also a wedding theme of sorts running through Team pro blog posts. Jan Heitmann wrote about his own wedding here while Nacho Barbero was a guest at Vanessa Selbst’s wedding.
