On April 30th, US players will be treated to a Million Dollar Weekend, with special tournaments guaranteeing $1M (shared liquidity) and $500,000 (PA). It will be the biggest day of the year for US PokerStars players.

Buy-ins for the Million Dollar weekend tournaments range from $10 to $1,000 and the good news is you don’t have to wait until April 30th to get involved in the Million Dollar Weekend. A $50 Phase tournament, with a Phase 1 stage, leading into April 30th’s Phase II will run throughout April starting April 5th.

What’s on the Million Dollar Weekend Menu?

The Million Dollar Weekend consists of ten tournaments in shared liquidity (SL) and nine tournaments for PA players.  The highlight in both is undoubtedly the $200 buy-in Million Dollar Sunday Special, which carries a $500,000 guarantee (SL) and $250,000 guarantee (PA). As you’d expect that tournament is in a prime-time slot, with shuffle up and deal at 17:00 ET.

The biggest buy-in event on the schedule is the $1,000 Million Dollar Sunday High Roller, there’s $200,000 (SL) and $100,000 (PA) guaranteed across that one, which starts at 19:00 ET.

At the other end of the scale $10 will buy you a seat in the Million Dollar Sunday Monster, which starts at 16:35 ET, and carries prize pools of $100,000 (SL) and $20,000 (PA).

How to be part of the Million Dollar Weekend

The Million Dollar Weekend is shaping up to be the biggest day of online poker for PokerStars players in the US and truly, a ‘can’t miss’ day of poker for US poker players.  With buy-ins from $10 to $1,000, as the cliche goes, there really is something for everyone. And if $10 is above your bankroll, there’s plenty of time to plan your schedule and to satellite into the special Million Dollar Weekend tournaments, with freeroll satellites and real money satellites starting at $1.

If you’re specifically targeting the Million Dollar Sunday Special, then not only will there be a depositer freeroll, but you can try your luck in $1 All-in Shootouts, that lead to a $20 Million Dollar Sunday satellite, $2 Spin and Go’s or just buy-in directly to the $20 satellite.

You’ll find more satellites in the respective lobbies from today, best of luck in qualifying for the Million Dollar Sunday.
