$25,000,000 tournament

The six biggest tournaments I've ever played in on PokerStars have all been MTT-R NLHEs. Last night, I played in my fifth biggest; it had a massive prize pool of $24,925,500. Let's just round that up to $25,000,000. First place paid $5,370,500. 27 places were paid, and a min cash was good for $249,000. I min cashed, and decided to call it a night.
