Poker News March 31, 2017 by Adrian Sterne

PokerStars recently announced that it will be celebrating the 11th anniversary of its highly popular weekly tournament, the PokerStars Sunday Million by adding a whopping $10 million guarantee.

The Sunday Million typically offers a $1 million guarantee, but on April 2, the guarantee will jump to at least $10 million with $1 million going to the eventual champion. The event has a direct buy-in of $215 but players can also win an entry ticket through a range of ongoing satellites that start at as low as $1. PokerStars gave out around 400 tickets via satellites games held on its site between March 18 and March 25.

A similar event on April 1 will take place and PokerStars will make an additional 200 tickets available and offer players a chance to win a ticket and qualify for the Sunday Million event.

The final Sunday Million 11th Anniversary Hyper-Turbo Freeroll: $47,000 Added will give the winner a cash prize of $1,000 along with a $215 Sunday Million Anniversary seat. The freeroll has a cap of 10,000 players

PokerStars will also be providing a $215 Sunday Million Anniversary entry ticket to those who finish between the second place and the 200th place in the freeroll. Those making a deposit until April 1 will receive a free entry ticket to the Hyper-Turbo Freeroll and also a mystery bonus which could range from a $10,000 All-in Shootout ticket to even $10,000 in cash.

In addition to regular satellites for entering the $10 million guaranteed Sunday Million, players can try their luck in the On-Demand satellites that have a buy-in of $27. These games begin as soon as the table is full. Players wanting to play the jackpot sit & go format can make an attempt through the Spin & Go qualifiers which have a $5 buy-in. Also on offer are two Deadline Satellites on April 2 – one will have 1,000 seats guaranteed with a $11 buy-in while the other one has 333 seats guaranteed with a $33 buy-in.

On April 2, PokerStars is also giving players a chance to win tickets worth over €50,000 to the upcoming PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo. The PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo will have a range of exciting events such as a National Championship which has a €1 million guarantee and the €5,300 Main Event.
