With clocks springing forward for many countries this weekend, marking the start of summertime, it's quite ironic that a major storm is about to hit the online poker landscape. However, you will be pleased to know that this particular storm is bringing a $350,000 guaranteed prize pool ashore instead of dark clouds and turbulent weather.
The 14th Anniversary Edition of the Sunday Storm explodes into action at 6:05 p.m. BST on March 23; that is this coming Sunday! Despite only costing $11 to enter, this special edition Sunday Storm has a prize pool that PokerStars promises will tip the scales at not a cent less than $350,000!
You don't even have to navigate to the money places to get your hands on some of that cash because this event has a progressive knockout format, meaning you win cash prizes for each and every opponent you send to the sidelines.

Enter the Sunday Storm for $11, or win your way in for mere cents, and you'll receive 10,000 chips to begin your quest for glory. Levels span 20 minutes for the first 12 levels before reducing to 10 minutes thereafter. This two-day event breaks after the 26th level before resuming at 6:05 p.m. BST on March 24, playing until a champion is crowned.
Progressive bounties are in play from the dealing of the first cards. Each entrant starts with a $5 on their head. Eliminating a foe sees half of their bounty land in your PokerStars as a cash payment, with the remaining half added to your bounty, which makes you a more attractive target for your opponents. When you progress deeper into the tournament, those bounties can become substantial and worth thousands of dollars!
