pokerstars broke once more, the record for the largest online tournament in the world with Common Cents Kick Off, on Monday, October 5, with 253,198 players.

With buy-in $ 0.01 and US $ 100,000 in prize, the Austrian "DaDumon" won the tournament and earned $ 10,000. :)

I can only imagine how bad the play was in this thing.
To the person that asked how many rebuys there were. To get to the $100,000 there would have been at least 10,000,000. Seems like numbers like that would shut their server down... I just can't pull myself to play in donkfests like this. Just way too loose for me...

i played in it, and for the first hour my other tournaments were running laggy as ever, also for the first 2 hours i was sat at tables with 4 or 5 active extremely tight players. the rest sitting out.

looks like the just did it to break the record because they actually will have lost 70k on the tournament guarantee. not that it would matter to them :)
