There is a special connection between Niklas “Lena900” Astedt and the Sunday Million anniversary edition.

Four years ago, he finished 23rd in the 16th Anniversary Tournament, out of a field of 52,119 players. Now, Astedt sits in sixth place on the chip leaderboard with only 49 players remaining in a massive field of 55,444.

Currently leading the pack is Finland's "RageReaperf," who won their first SCOOP title last year in the $55 NLHE Turbo PLO event, for a prize of $12,849. Can they add another title to their collection when the winner is decided on Monday night, this time in the 20th anniversary Sunday Million event?

While Astedt may be the most talked-about surviving player, many others remain in the competition. "SuperQ22" reached the final table of the $1,050 New Year Series Main Event in 2023; "luily021" reached the final table of the $55 SCOOP Main Event in 2021.

Looking further down the list, you'll find Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue currently ranked 42nd in chips. He's absolutely not to be underestimated—he boasts two SCOOP titles and one WCOOP title to date.

Since this year's Sunday Million tournament adopts a progressive KO format, the question of who has the highest bounty is always a hot topic. Currently, the highest bounty belongs to the Ukrainian player "234241234214432", with a prize of $8,400.
