PokerStars Changes Sunday Millions Buy Ins

June 11 - While the Sunday Millions tournament at the popular online poker room, PokerStars has always been a great bet, many players expressed frustration with the site's strategy of shifting the buy in once a month from $200 + $15 to $500 + $30.

PokerStars has heard these complaints and announced this week that it would be bringing a welcome change to the site from the beginning of June. Players will be happy to learn that the monthly alteration is a thing of the past and from now on, the buy in into the Sunday Millions will remain $200 + $15 every single week.

The PokerStars Sunday Millions therefore offers players the opportunity to go for a guaranteed $1 million prize pool each week for only $215 - with a massive guaranteed first prize of over $100,000.

Of course, players don't actually need to spend $215 to stand in line to win so much cash. PokerStars offers regular satellites that take place at most times of the day or night and for as little as $3, players can win the buy in into the Sunday Millions tournament.

PokerStars is not doing away altogether with the traditional once-monthly $500 + $30 buy in, and those players seeking a little bit more action and the chance to win a guaranteed first prize of $250,000, another tournament will be added each week on a Sunday, over and above the exciting Sunday Millions. The new tournament will begin at 5.30 pm ET - after the Sunday Millions.

Two weeks ago, nearly 7000 participants took part in the Sunday Millions, pushing the prize pool up to nearly $1,400,000! The winner of the competition, the Spanish online poker player jotaele1, took home a cool $197,202.60 after building his stack to over $21 million. Jotaele beat a tough Costa Rican competitor JHBrenes in a nail biting heads up game before pocketing his winnings.
