PokerStars Sunday Million celebrating fifth anniversary
1 Mar 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- The PokerStars Sunday Million – the world's richest weekly online poker tournament – is celebrating its fifth anniversary next weekend. To mark the occasion, on Sunday, March 6, PokerStars is upping the ante by increasing the guaranteed prize pool from its usual $1.5 million to a staggering $5 million!
The winner will pocket a guaranteed first prize of at least $1 million and drive away with a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4!
The direct buy-in is $215 but players can qualify in a variety of satellites. There is a special $11 super satellite that gets under way just one hour before the big event at 15.30 ET on March 6 that guarantees a massive 1,000 seats into the Sunday Million 5th Anniversary. There are even $1 feeder satellites into the $11 qualifier, so players really can turn $1 into $1 million next weekend! Tickets for both $1 and $11 satellites are available in the VIP store.
Last year, the Sunday Million 4th Anniversary tournament saw 36,169 players register for the $215 tourney to create a total prize pool of $7,233,800. RichieRichZH lived up to his name by winning $1,141,510 in the biggest Sunday Million ever. Expect next weekend's event to be even bigger!
