THERE’S A STORM BREWING
In Week 5 of the Sunday Million Season, a massive $8,783,196 in prize money was distributed. The vast majority of that came in the 18th Anniversary Sunday Million, and you can read our comprehensive report on how Brazil’s Crossbreed17 took down that behemoth of a tournament.
There’s no shortage of action in Week 6, with seven tournaments to get involved in. The weekend is headlined by the Sunday Million, which carries the familiar $109 buy-and and $1,000,000 guarantee. But, it’s also another anniversary weekend, with the Sunday Storm 13th Anniversary starting at 14:05 ET on Sunday. This one is much kinder on the pocket, carrying an $11 buy-in, but a low buy-in doesn’t mean a small prize pool as it carries a huge guarantee of $500,000. As you’d expect there are a slew of satellites running meaning you can win entry for as little as $0.55.
Outside of those two big events, sprinkled throughout the week are specific events relating to members of Team PokerStars Pro, with Fintan Hand, Benj Spragg, Parker Talbot, Rafael Moraes and Lex Veldhuis the pros in question. Check out all the details of this week’s line-up below, as well as last week’s results.

INTRODUCING SUNDAY MILLION SEASON
There’s a popular saying among online poker pros (we’re looking at you, Pads): “Never miss a Sunday”. It’s the busiest day of the week for tournaments on PokerStars and with big fields come huge prize pools and paydays.
Well, as if your Sunday sessions weren’t already exciting enough, PokerStars is now providing even more incentive to never miss a Sunday.
Introducing the Sunday Million Season – a six-week-long affair running between March 10 and April 21, 2024. The Season comprises some of the biggest online tournaments of the year — including the epic Sunday Million Anniversary 18 and its $8 million guarantee – with leader board points and added prizes.
The idea is simple. Players play their regular Sunday schedule, but certain events (including some special tournaments added solely for the season) will be tracked and points will be awarded based on your results.
Not only are there millions of dollars in prizes across the Season’s 40 events (some with Low, Medium and High editions), but there’s also $100,000 in Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) tickets and leader board prizes to be won.
Plus, many of the special featured tournaments will have their guarantees boosted with tickets for the Sunday Million Anniversary 18, each worth $215. There’s a minimum first-place prize of $1 million in that one.
There will also be various promotions announced along the way, so keep your eyes peeled for those.
Below you’ll find the key info and the full schedule.

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE SUNDAY MILLION SEASON
With so many fantastic events – and the added incentive of leader board points – you’re no doubt itching to play as many Sunday Million Season tournaments as you can.
We don’t blame you!
But buying in directly for every event on the schedule can be costly and might stretch your bankroll too far. If that’s something you’re worried about, fear not.
As you’d expect from PokerStars, there are tons of fantastic satellite options available for every event on the schedule – particularly the Sunday Million Anniversary 18, and if you can get into that one for cheap, it could turn out to be the best small investment you ever make.
Let’s look at some of the ways you can qualify for the biggest event on the Sunday Million Season schedule.
SUNDAY MILLION ANNIVERSARY SATELLITES
MTT Satellites:
You can win a $215 seat in the SMA18 for free. There are four freeroll events (with re-buys available for $0.27) every day in the lead-up to the event. These tournaments begin at 10:45, 13:25, 16:05 and 19:05 ET.

HOW THE SEASON LEADERBOARD WORKS
The Sunday Million Season leader board works in the same way as in the Spring and World Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP/WCOOP).
Players receive points based on how they finish in a tournament. You can see how that breaks down below.
Double points will be awarded for the three biggest events on the schedule: the Sunday Million Anniversary, Sunday Storm Anniversary, and Sunday Million Season Finale.
Note: Every tournament in the Sunday Million Season is eight-handed.
