PokerStars Road to the Sunday Million

The PokerStars Sunday Million may be rapidly approaching its 17th anniversary but the long-running tournament is the online event every poker player dreams of winning. Not only does the Sunday Million guarantee at least $1 million in prize money for a $109 buy-in, but taking it down comes with bags of kudos from your fellow grinders.

Although $109 is a great price for a $1 million guaranteed online poker tournament, it is a sum that is outside the constraints of most players' bankrolls. If $109 is too steep for you, perhaps you should take a look at the Road to the Sunday Million route to this week's event because you can play your way into the February 19 edition of the Sunday Million from only $0.55.

The Road to the Sunday Million features two $11 buy-in tournaments that are ridiculous value. They play as a traditional progressive knockout event, but PokerStars adds 16x $109 seats to the prize pool, or $17,500 worth of tickets if you prefer. Not only do the top 16 finishers bag a seat to the Sunday Million, but they walk away with cash prizes too! It is a great satellite format because you can still win some cash even if you miss out on one of the added $109 tickets.

Such an $11 Road to the Sunday Million tournament ran on February 16. It saw 1,907 players enter, with the top 16 finishers receiving an entry to the next Sunday Million on February 19. Everyone that reeled in a $109 seat also walked away with cash amounts worth between $60 and $2,073! Brazil's "petrosant" captured $2,073 when they won the tournament, while Azerbaijan's "Guzyaka" netted $1,028 for their second-place finish.
