PokerStars claims the added reward of nearly $8000 was a result of a five-way deal. 

From CardPlayer.com: 

Thanks to a massive chip lead when play was five-handed, Smith took a sweet deal. When the clock was paused to figure out a split, Smith had about 45 percent of the chips in play, and his four opponents agreed to give him just under $200,000. The ammount was only about $11,000 less than what first would have taken if they finished without a deal.

Smith was one of 7,060 players who bought into this past week's Sunday Million, creating a $1,412,000 prize pool. 1,080 places were paid, with first place set to earn $211,800. Of the 21 Red Spades in the field, five made the money: Christophe De Muelder (980th), Angel Guillen (666th), Adrienne "talonchick" Rowsome (490th), Henrique Pinho (230th), and Christian "el grillo" De Leon (146th).
