Join this poker extravaganza now!<\/figcaption><\/figure><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0The Sunday Millions is PokerStars&#039; most famous weekly tournament, but it&#039;s fair to say that Sunday Storm comes close in popularity. For years, Sunday Storm, with its $11 buy-in and guaranteed $100,000 prize pool, has been the go-to event for thousands of PokerStars players. Now, as Sunday Storm celebrates its 15th anniversary, PokerStars has increased its guaranteed prize pool to an astonishing level.\u00a0<strong>$500,000<\/strong>\u3002<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>May 10<\/strong>\u00a0It&#039;s Sunday, the 15th anniversary of the Storm tournament, and you absolutely can&#039;t miss this celebration. A $11 buy-in tournament with a guaranteed $500,000 prize pool is almost insane, especially considering the event requires 50,000 entries to reach that $500,000 prize pool.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">PokerStars has designed its 15th Anniversary Sunday Storm as a &quot;phased event,&quot; meaning it features dozens of &quot;phases&quot; (think of them as Day 1s of a live tournament), and player registration is now open. These phases will continue to welcome players from all over until May 10th.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each Stage 1 ends when only 31 TP3T players remain, meaning all players advancing to Stage 2 will be in the money. Furthermore, this is a cumulative knockout (PKO) tournament, meaning there are prizes to be won from the very beginning. Clearly, even if a player&#039;s championship dream ends in Stage 1, the Sunday Storm 15th Anniversary Edition can still offer substantial rewards.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Players can participate in multiple Stage 1 events, but only until they successfully advance to Stage 2. Once they successfully bag their chips at the end of a Stage 1 event, those chips will be...\u00a0<strong>7:05 PM British Summer Time on May 10<\/strong>\u00a0It will be put into use in Phase 2.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>All previous Sunday Storm Anniversary Champions<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2025, the 14th anniversary Sunday Storm attracted 37,180 entries. Hungary&#039;s &quot;Diesel Ramirez&quot; ultimately emerged victorious, taking home $23,093 in prize money (including bounty).<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prior to this, in 2024, Brazilian poker player &quot;kdrAS&quot; defeated 46,678 opponents in the 13th Sunday Storm Anniversary. What was his prize (including bounty)? The answer is $19,357.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Brazilian player, &quot;Basigol,&quot; turned his $11 investment into $26,050 in 2023. That year&#039;s Sunday Storm 12th Anniversary Celebration attracted a total of 72,658 participants.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Trading $0.55 for a chance to enter the tournament.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While the buy-in for $11 is already quite affordable, PokerStars wants to give as many of its best players as possible the opportunity to participate in this tournament with a guaranteed $500,000 buy-in.
