Russian player wins $1 million Spin & Go in 6 minutes

Russian player CcccpVodka became a millionaire in just 6 mintues on April 23 after winning a $1 million Spin & Go on PokerStars. He received a 200,000x return on his $5 buy-in after defeating his Greek opponent in heads-up play with a brutal bad beat.

We have previously talked a lot about PokerStars' Spin & Gos. Last December PokerStars introduced a special version of Spin & Gos as a part of their December Poker Festival, these S&Gs had a $5 buy-in and players could win up to 200,000x of their buy-in, the winner would receive $1 million while the 2nd and 3rd place finishers received $100,000 each.

In December nobody won the main prize, so PokerStars extended the promotion until the end of January, and in that extra month, three players managed to win the $1 million prize.

The first player to do so was russian sss66666, he won in 13 minutes, he was soon followed by Czech player tornádo111, who became a millionaire in less then 10 minutes, and Canadian anushan_2323, who won in 11 minutes.

PokerStars has launched a new promotion March 27 called PokerStars Makes Millionaires. Amongst other promotions, this saw PokerStars reintroduce the Million Dollar S&G, and it took less then a month for it to spin out.

Russian player CccpVodka won the $1 million in record time, he defeated runner-up finisher Greek partalios and third place finisher, fellow Russian shooLarr in just 6 minutes.

In the final hand, he raise/called 15 big blinds with J-7, and hit a Jack on the flop to scoop the pot and the $1 million prize.

The PokerStars Makes Millionaire promotion series is still running, so you could become a millionaire also! If you don't have a PokerStars account yet, you can create one here!
