Finalist in Sunday Million loses out on over half a million dollars

The excitement & massive winnings that attended the record fifth anniversary Pokerstars Sunday Million tourney this week (see previous report) has been dampened by news of a disqualification involving one of the finalists...a move that will cost him over half a million dollars.

Sixth finisher 'zeurrrr' was part of a nine-way chop that gave him $518 042 when the event ended, but it has since transpired that the Dutch player was under the age of eighteen & apparently lied to Pokerstars on registration. In his home country the minimum age to gamble is eighteen, so according to the T&C's he can be disqualified & his prize money is forfeit.

Speaking on Dutch television, Pokerstars spokesman Simon Keijzer revealed that the 17-year-old zeurrrr will not be eligible for the prize money, which will presumably be recycled among the other eight finalists.

Zeurrrr apparently qualified for the big event in a $2 satellite.
