The One on CoinPoker has crowned its first millionaire. After eight days and over 24,000 entries, one player walked away with $1,000,000 - the largest tournament payout in CoinPoker history.

That player was TonyTheToenailcollector. He beat a field of 18,730 unique players and took down zoru99 heads-up. The seven final-table players shared $2,400,000.

The One Final Table Results

Here are the confirmed final table results.

The Biggest Stories From The One

The winner takes the headline. But some of the best stories came from further down the field.

Bufunfa - $325,000 After Two Years of Grinding

Bufunfa had earned $9,402 in two years on CoinPoker. Their previous best tournament score was $2,760.

Third place in The One paid $325,000 - more than 117 times that old record.

SeniorTalez - From $125 to $160,000

You’d assume a fifth-place finisher in a field this size is a seasoned MTT pro. Not here.

Before The One, SeniorTalez had never made a final table. They had four career cashes and had never won more than $125. Fifth place paid $160,000.

Tiniesta1994 - $1 to $19,250

Tiniesta1994 skipped the direct buy-in and won a seat through a $1 satellite. They went on to finish 15th for $19,250 - a 19,250x return on their investment.

Their previous best tournament score was $763.

Tony Was Playing Two Big Events at Once

While he was playing for a million, Tony was also heads-up in the $109 CoinMasters DOGE. He finished second, earning $19,024. Not a bad side session.

GOPC Medal Winners Back in Action

Four of the deep runners already hold medals from CoinPoker’s $88M GOPC series - TonyTheToenailcollector, raketenbauer, zoru99, and billy1913.

• Tony, raketenbauer, and zoru99 all have GOPC wins

• billy1913 holds a Silver Medal

It was a tough field. RobinPoker went the deepest of the ambassadors, busting in 135th place.
