PokerStars will host a festive Sunday Storm with $1 million guarantee

​Sunday Storm celebrates its anniversary at the weekend. Players have been winning money in the Sunday tournament for 8 years and in honor of this occasion, PokerStars will hold a special festive event with a 5-time increased guarantee.

The buy-in will remain the same ($11), but the guarantee will be equal to $1 000 000. An overlay will not occur only if Stars collects more than 100 000 entries. Usually, the Sunday Storm is held in a freezeout format, but in the festive event, all players will be able to re-entry the competition up to three times.
