Brazil’s AAAArthur is the latest Sunday Million champion and more than $1 million richer after paying just $11 to qualify for PokerStars’ landmark event. Awesome payday and all from a satellite!

$11 Ticket Becomes $1.1 Million Payday for Sunday Million Winner AAAArthur

I was watching when 35 players left. Great game, great cash
I want to say that our Sharon was amazing too

Wow!

What a feat! From $11 satellite buy-in into getting $1M prize. Let alone his biggest prize winning is $90.

One only can hope to achieve the same. Hopefully next Sunday Million.

And the runnner was a romanian guy !!Congrats to all participants,and for the winner!!

These moments make us to dream big!

Yes I watched the FT while I was losing ina big $1 tournament. lol.

Took a long time to whittle down and once they were down to 4 they made a deal and then played for $50k more. 4th got about $786k, 3rd over $850k and second nearly $1 million.

Not bad for 3 days work. Almost as much as I make an hour. Lol

Congrats to all CC members who cashed. What an insanely large tournament.

I also saw that Aaaaarthur biggest previous win was $215. (The ticket he won to the tournament). What a big difference in his 2 biggest wins!!

Sometimes dreams come true,even when you do not expect it)

Brazil players are very good players . Congratulations to him , such a great victory , awesome result . He won this life changing money , so lucky , everyone wants to live his dream . And he had small cashes in the past , this shows to me that the dream to win this great jackpot of your life is real , even if you don't have many profits or great wins , or maybe even if you're not so good or master of the game .

Turning $11 into more than $1M it's incredible , not even 1000 more like in the best tournament or 5000x if he just bought in directly , but 100.000 x his buyin (sat win) money. Ofcourse either it's one or many sats that he played , still tremendous win and amazing victory . Many congratulations to him

What a great result !! I tried to follow the final stretch but I ended up hanging up. I saved the link to watch the final table later. Follow the link for interested people

I think its important to realize how many people like the winner was playing with the same dream and not got even cashing in the event. I love poker, and if i make a side income of $500 monthly thats its great for me.

Wow that's amazing, I remember he was in my table and he was really short, I was surprised when I saw him chip leader in the final table, that's a life changing for him

that can teach us that anything can happen at poker

What a spectacular story friends, I tell you that the player Alex Brito winner of the SM 14th Anniversary, is an unemployed man who left the satellites for $ 0.25, I told you that the jackpot of online poker in 2020 was to fall in one unit family with two children who lost their only source of income to the coronavirus. The identity of "AAAArthur" is that of Alex Brito, a recreational player who does not even remotely play tournaments at the cost of the Sunday Million. The first information located the origin of "AAAArthur" in the $ 11 qualifiers, but there were much more feeders economic that gave access to those tournaments. The new Brazilian Moneymaker started from the bottom of the food chain, which supplied the tournament with a total of 93,016 registrations, all of which allowed him a family situation complicated by the effects of the coronavirus crisis.

So you know this winner personally right

personally I do not know him, friend, but I do know his story, since it was news in Brazil. It is a beautiful story of that boy, who fought from the bottom and ended up winning that grand prize.

Congrats to Arthur!! Represented very well our country that has several good players coming!! That more titles come here until my turn comes !!

AAAArthur, played ~ 1,100 mtt's on Stars, with an avg. bi of $5.
His previous top score was $215.... and it was on Mar.4th when he won the $215 ticket in an $11 satty. I believe his 3rd largest score was ~$90 (someone else said it was $78).
And he typically plays those 36 man Hypers ... super micro buyin level.

Incredible achievement, congratulations to all who reached the final table in such a huge player pool.

This is unbelievable. I would definitely throw out a pocket pair of 22 on the preflop. The strongest are lucky.

Such a sick sick story of running it up ! That's why we play the MTTs and live through the brutality. For the ultimate goal of spinning it up !

Had to be a crazy FT to play for the guy

Hi everyone.From a $0.25 sat to a million dollar prize? Wow! That is our dream.What an amazing achievement.Congratulations!

Watched the game on youtube amazing win for somebody who really needed the money as his wife lost her job due to corona virus and he was unemployed with 2 kids.

Brazil is a country with many people and apparently many players, they are in all the tournaments I have played in a lot
