Spraggy and a host of star players advance to the final stage of the Sunday Million 20th Anniversary event.

The second stage of the PokerStars Sunday Million 20th Anniversary Tournament is about to begin, with star players like Spraggy already advancing. A guaranteed prize pool of 5,000,000 ($) and the first stage satellite tournament ($109) are underway.

With only three weeks remaining until the start of Stage 2 of the PokerStars Sunday Million 20th Anniversary event, guaranteeing a $5 million prize pool, the completed Stage 1 events have garnered 24,881 entries, with 799 players successfully earning their tickets to Stage 2.

PokerStars' Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg is one of the star players advancing to a crucial stage of the Sunday Million 20th Anniversary event. The popular streamer amassed 187,043 chips from a starting stack of 10,000 in the first stage of the selected event, and is currently ranked 544th when the tournament resumes.

However, Spraggy's starting position in Phase 2 may change, as there are still a lot of Phase 1 events to be held before Phase 2 officially begins on September 6.

The PokerStars lobby shows $109. The first stage of the tournament will begin at 4:25 PM, 7:25 PM, and 10:25 PM BST. These tournaments will be held from August 13th to 15th, and the same schedule is expected to continue, or even increase, as the second stage approaches on September 6th.
