That trio of events are followed up two hours later at 3:05 p.m. GMT with the $3.30, $33, and $320 No-Limit Hold'em PKO Season Kick-Off events before the biggest tournament of the night, a $109 buy-in PKO edition of the Sunday Million wraps up the week's action.
To give you an idea of what to expect from the March 10 Sunday Million, think back to last week's tournament. British player "bsmartplayer" came out on top of a 10,417-strong crowd and walked away with $93,277, with $39,112 stemming from the progressive bounties they collected along the way. Special edition Sunday Millions often attract larger crowds, and the March 10 installment is definitely special.
