Sharing her excitement about the milestone event, PokerStars Ambassador Marle Spragg stated:
“When you think of online poker you think of The Sunday Million. Most players remember their deepest run and where they were when it happened. It’s a magical event with an incredible history. But also very accessible to almost any poker player with lots of ways to qualify to play. There’s something really cool about playing the same tournament that’s meant so much to poker for so many years, like you’re part of something bigger.”
Structured as an immersive 10-week phased tournament, the Sunday Million 20th Anniversary event guarantees a massive $5 million prize pool, reinforcing its legacy as one of the most prestigious fixtures in online poker history.
