PokerStars' Dream Team Collection promotion wrapped up the other day, leaving at least one extremely happy player in its wake. That player was Ukraine's solik1968, who ended up with a $1 million prize, but let's not cut ahead of the chase.
The promotion kicked off on August 17, and we here at
PokerStop have indeed featured it in our promotions section. The Dream Team Collection was about collecting puzzle-pieces belonging to three football superstars and PokerStars ambassadors: Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario and Neymar Jr. (who was substituted by Daniel Negreanu in the UK where he couldn't be featured due to promotional restrictions). Wrapping up on September 17, the promotion had players completing various tasks in order to pick up the above-said puzzle-pieces. The most frequent reward for those who collected their puzzle-pieces was a $20k All-in Shootout ticket, but there were a few who picked up cash prizes and even a Golden Ticket.

A total of 227k players took part in the promotion - a rather impressive number indeed - and of them, some 47 managed to get their hands on a Golden Ticket All-in Shootout seat. This "tournament" offered no less than $1 million to the winner... quite some stakes indeed. Even though they couldn't actually do anything to influence the outcome, the 47 participants eagerly watched as the event played down to its heads-up stage. solik1968 was facing gregior from the UK. The last hand of the shootout saw solik1968's Ad,3s go up against his opponent's 9h, 5h. The flop fell 4,5,7, giving gregior the lead. The Qs on the turn gave solik1968 a bunch of outs, and indeed, with the Js hitting the river, he made a spade flush for the $1 million.
