UltimateBet's $1,000,000 Guaranteed Tournament - The Stone Cold Nuts II - finally reached a conclusion after a staggering 14 hours of online play. This was to be expected when the winner had to outlast 2773 other players to get the top prize. This was $266,070, however, and the winner 'hhumbert' can't have minded effectively missing Sunday with a prize like that. The other top nine:

Chef Henri, $152,040
Schyke, $110,862.50
TRAPSTER, $82,355

puffboy, $66,390.80
pr1metime, $53,214
yankees31, $40,544
wwwnvrwinpkr, $28,507.50
whozepfloyd, $20,272
ArmyDrill, $11,403

In addition to the money, all ten final tablists received WSOP Prize Packages (which in the case of tenth was worth more than the prize) so they'll get to play another big tournament fairly soon. Spare a thought for those not on Eastern Standard Time, however - the tournament started at 3:30pm EST and therefore finished at 5:30am, but over here if you'd played til near the conclusion, that would have been 8:30pm until 10am. Again, not a problem if you win a quarter of a million.
