Players who enter a Spin & Go pay just the posted buy-in (in this case $5) but the jackpot wheels spin to set the prize pool.
The three players at the table this time watched the wheels land on $1.2m - the first time its ever crossed the $1m mark.
Within four hands sss66666 had lost half his stack but in less than 15 mins had won it all back and the record-breaking the SNG to add $1m to his bankroll.
The other two players each claimed $100,000.
