Sunday is the biggest day on the online poker calendar. The time for every player great and small to plug into his nearest interweb terminal and sweat the Sunday Million. PokerStars’ flagship tourney has been drawing in the punters for years and continues to be the most lucrative weekly tournament around.
Usually, just one Sunday Million is enough to rule the roost, but this weekend PokerStars is looking to capture the attention of every single poker player on the planet. The Double Vision promo bursts into life on Sunday October 16, adding a second Sunday Million to the tournament schedule.
30 minutes after the usual version gets underway, a duplicate of the original begins at 15:30 ET. True to their name, both feature a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000. That’s double the normally available prize money. You’ll need to buy in separately for both events, for the standard price of $215 per tournament.
It’s not just the Million that’s undergoing a cloning procedure. To get in some high stakes multi-table practice, try out the two Sunday Warm-Ups taking place earlier in the day. They kick off at 11:00 ET and 11:30 ET, both costing $215 to enter and both sporting a guarantee of $500,000.
The Double Vision tournaments have guarantees that total at $3 million, so you can be sure that the best players in the game will be on hand to extract an unprecedented level of value from the day’s festivities. Those still stuck inside the U.S. might want to fast track their travel plans.
Plus, there’s the usual gamut of PokerStars Sunday MTTs to sink your bankroll into. The Sunday Kick-Off is a $109 event with $75,000 guarantee, while the $215 Sunday Second Chance gives defeated Million players the chance to win a slice of a $125,000 guarantee prize pool.
There are satellites available to all of these events, with Sunday Million qualifiers starting as low as $1. Just remember that, this week, you need to win two seats, not one.
