Spin and Win a Million

It's celebration time at PokerStars. Spin and Go is one year old and you can take part in the birthday celebrations! They have added several new buyins to the Spin and Go tournament series including a 50c buyin, $5 and $100 buyin all of which can trigger the $1 million prize. The $7 buyin can win you up to $70,000. I have played one 50c game already after reluctantly making a $10 deposit. I did manage to win it though and the prize was just $1. I'm about to play another 50c game. The prize is $1 and I'm dealt AK suited. I take down the pot without having to go to showdown which is (hopefuly) a good start. The very next hand and one of the players is out losing with Q10 against A8. Not much happens for quite a few hands until I'm dealt Q7 as BB. Opponent flat calls and the flop comes down QK6. Opponent bets 40 and I call. The turn is a 2 and the river is another Queen. Opponent bet 160 and I caqll. The opponent shows Q9 and just pips me to the post. I thought I was going to go out after that hand but I do win a couple of hands without showdown. The next hand and I'm dealt AA. I raise pre flop and the opponent calls. The flop is 5610. I bet and opponent raises all in. I of course call and opponent shows 910. The turn is a 5 and the river is a 10 and whilst the opponent hit two pairs, my two pairs were higher and I take the pot. My opponent only has a few chips left but he did manage to double up after beating me with pocet 4s. 20 or more hands pass by and I'm dealt 910. I hit 9s on the turn and opponent bets and I call. The river is a 10 giving me two pairs The very next hand and I'm dealt A6 as BB - a reasonable hand heads up. Opponent raises all in pre-flop and I decide to give it a go thinking he is desperately trying to win some chips. He shows his hand which is Q9. The flop comes down 386, the turn is a King and the river is another King. I win the hand and the game and the $1 prize pool. I wonder how different the outcome would have been if the pot was $1 million?
