Carter “ckingusc” King wins another PokerStars Sunday Million tournament. It seems that this guy just can’t stay out of the spotlight! Only few weeks after facing a trial and drug charges after Michael Phelps bong scandal, Carter was back right there, where most keen Texas Holdem fans expected to see him more often than in scandalous paparazzi reports – a final table. He became a world famous poker player after winning the 2008 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker Main Event and here he comes to hit a huge pot again. When all was said and done at the final table of the PokerStars Sunday Million Tournament, King became almost $200,000 richer.

During the final tournament’s table, King’s opponents attempted to negotiate for a chop several times, but King didn’t show any interest in splitting the chip stack and stopping the game. On the contrary, he expressed a fervent desire to play the game out. Once all King’s opponents except *xen left the game and the play got heads-up, King’s opponent asked him not to repeat the situation that took place, when they were in the same position last time. However, King had other plans and did exactly what his opponent asked him not to do. After the flop of the last hand in the tournament, both players got all their chips in the middle (2-1 chip advantage for King). When the cards were turned over, *xen held pocket nines and King held pocket Jacks. The river brought a Jack and King won another Major title.
