PokerStars’ 6th Anniversary Sunday Million Carries $6 Million Prize
PokerStars.com, the world’s largest online poker room, has announced that the sixth anniversary of its lucrative Sunday Million, the event that has made PokerStars.com very famous, will be held on March 11, giving its loyal players the chance to grab their share of a prize pool of $6 million.
The sixth anniversary Sunday Million, which will have the usual buy-in of $215, will be played at the usual time of 19:30 GMT. The feature that makes this Sunday Million special is the $1 million guaranteed prize to the winner.
The first edition of the Sunday Million was played in 2006, with Daryl “aaaaaa” Jayce emerging as the winner of a field of 6,000 players and collecting a cool prize of $173,844. Ever since that historic moment, the Sunday Million is a constant feature of this online poker room.
Ever since Jayce won the first Sunday Million, 278 Sunday Million tournaments have been played, 2.1 million online poker players have purchased seats to this tournament, and a breathtakingly huge prize pool of $444,149,600 has been distributed among winners.
According to PokerStars.com, top poker players such as Liv Boeree, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, and Jason Mercier have participated in the Sunday Million. The PokerStars blog has reported online poker player Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier as saying that his favourite memory of the Sunday Million is when he finished in the twelfth position. Admitting that it was his first deep run in such a lucrative online poker tournament, a fact that excited him at that time, Grospellier also said that the sixth anniversary of the Sunday Million will not feel the same, but he will try just as hard as he did when the Sunday Million was in its infancy.
There are two ways for an online poker player at PokerStars to participate in this event—buy-in to the tournament directory or qualify for it through a qualifying satellite run regularly at PokerStars.com. The online poker room will be running qualifying satellites to the Sunday Million for buy-ins as low as $1. Besides, a satellite guaranteeing 1000 free seats to the Sunday Million will also be held just before it.
Online poker players who are interested in participating in the sixth anniversary of the Sunday Million must first register real money online poker accounts at this site. If players sign up from an approved PokerStars.com affiliate link, they will stand the chance of grabbing better bonuses. Once poker players have logged in to their accounts, they can view all details of the sixth anniversary Sunday Million. If they still have queries, they can email to [email protected].
PokerStars.com has gained a solid reputation for itself as an online poker room that provides a fun, safe, fair, and reliable online poker gaming experience. Although one of the major online poker rooms that were cracked down upon by the US federal government, PokerStars.com was not only the first to recover, but also the first to refund all its ex US poker players. PokerStars.com is a paradise of lucrative cash games, tournaments, and poker bonuses.
