After 99 amazing events, the MicroMillions III series came to an end yesterday with the $1 million guaranteed Main Event. PokerStars guaranteed that the winner would get at least $150,000, but that number was broken as 61,072 players entered the tournament and created a $1,221,400 prize pool with the winner set to pocket a massive $165,789.31!

On the balance of probabilities, the Eastern European players will get their fair share of big wins because of the large numbers of them that play. It will only be a matter of time befiore BRM takes over the world an on the balance of probabilities we will all win the Sunday Million!! (Keep the dream alive!!)

the only thing i dont like about Russians is that i've seen and played vs hundreds or thousands of them and most of them are silly bingo players that have no clue whatsoever.. Nothing worse then getting suckout from a Russian that hunts draws and plays any two But thankfully there are some good players among so many fishes that this country has. But we know how big Russia is. And its known worldwide for its crazyness )

That's for the same reason that damosk gives above. I doubt that, proportionally, there are more Russian bingo players than there are from any other nation. It's just that there are so damn many players from Russia that It may seem like it.

As expected the prizepool breached the million dollar mark and once the registration process had finally closed a total of 61,702 players were left battling it out for a top prize of $165,789. As the hours ticked by that mark was finally reached and with just three players remaining the inevitable negotiating took place.

Really not too bad for an investment of $22. I also played this one, but unfortunately busted out just before the people at around 8400th place. Could have folded me in the money, but tried to do better and lost.

Two portuguese players in the top 9, how good can that be? I really don't know these nicknames, we also have a lot of online promises and rookies-to-amateurs "giving cards" on the game, and this is just an example of what we are able to to!

I agree with all above there are just too many chasing bingo playing russians..... And its all Tony G's fault,as he said famously: Bring on more russians....... that was the beginning of the end
------------ numeromis, who had more than half of the chips in play when play resumed, didn't have the poker gods on his side. After losing several small pots, he was all in pre-flop with KSpadeJClub against axel397's 5Spade9Spade
Czech POWER!!! I dont belive it. Never seen 2 guys in top 3 from my country, expectly on-line. But dont blame all east-europe guys, we arent like Russians.That Hungarian guy in WSOP finals (cant imagine his name) can prove, we arent bingo players.

I've just watched the main event replay , and all I can tell you is that this axel guy is just another HUGE russian donk , fish , and these are kind words to say , had much worse in my mind , it was down to the last 3 players , numeromis was chip leader , axel was 2nd , and another random guy 3d , and this russian donk axel , calls the chip leader's all-in , with 5 fking 9 , and lucks out , so in my oppinion , he doesn't even deserve 1 positive comment.
