Amateur poker player wins second Sunday Million title at Poker Stars (video)

The renowned Sunday Million online poker tournament at Poker Stars produced a rare result – amateur poker fan takes the honors for the second time.

Sunday Million is one of the most famous online poker tournaments worldwide gathering thousands of hopeful poker enthusiasts. This weekend Kevin Steele, an amateur player from Plunginton, UK showed the world his skills and won the competition for the second time.

The accomplishment is not unheard of, but is extremely rare. Until now, only two players managed to do this so far: Juan Maceiras 'vietcong01' Barros and Jesper ‘Kipster23’ Hougaard. Steele only started to play poker six years ago with his friends and won the prestigious tournament in July this year, taking home a sizable prize of $128,798.

This time he outlasted a field of almost 7,000 hopefuls and grabbed a $168,839 prize, which could’ve been larger had he not agreed to split the pot with 3 other finalists. Sunday Million is hosted every Sunday at Poker Stars and offers a long list of qualifiers and satellites, where seats can be won even without any buy-ins.

Poker Stars is celebrating 10th anniversary and hosts an array of rewarding promotions including bumping the Sunday Million prize pool to amazing $10 million and staging a world record breaking online poker tournament.
