PokerStars’ Sunday Storm Celebrates Anniversary with $1,000,000 Guarantee
The PokerStars Sunday Storm tournament will celebrate its sixth anniversary March 19 with a $1 million prize pool and $100,000 to the winner.
The tournament, hosted at 1 p.m. ET on Sundays, only has an $11 buy-in. This special payout is about three times its usual top payout.
Players can buy in to the event with satellites at PokerStars. Three special $1.10 satellites will also run to guarantee 1,000 seats to the event.

Players can reenter the tournament if they are knocked out before the end of late registration. These players will be treated as new players, receiving a new starting stack and seat at a random table. Their buy-in will be added to the pool.
