The Sunday Million Anniversary Tournament saw an amazing 10,508 players play for a $2,101,600 prize pool. Every one of them paid $200 to enter and when play finally got down to 5 players remaining, a deal was done to pay the chip leader at the time over $160,000.
$30,000 was left in the middle for the eventual winner of the tournament, per the PokerStars chop rules. As a result of the deal, the following payouts were guaranteed:

$100.000+ from a $200 buy in? I wish I had those kind of returns from my share portfolio.
