The PokerStars site is famous for its Sunday Million tournament which gives you a shot at winning a huge slice of a prize pool guaranteed to be worth at least $1,000,000. Buy-in directly or invest just a few dollars to qualify in a satellite tournament. And because this tourney takes place every week, you're only ever seven days away from another shot at the title.
This site claims to be the biggest in the world, and with the number of players online at any given time rarely dipping below five figures, we think they might be right. You will need to download some software before you can begin playing, but this will usually be completed in a couple of minutes, so this is no inconvenience.
Although you can play the usual range of cash games and single table tournaments here at PokerStars, the big multi-table tournaments will be of most interest to those wanting to make a poker million or two.
In addition to the Sunday Million itself you can have a go at a Sunday Warm Up tournament and a huge number of daily tournaments and satellites to live events. Whether your primary game is Hold’em, Omaha or Stud, you will find plenty of opportunities to line your pockets if you have the skill to win or come close.
Graphically faultless, PokerStars boasts a user-friendly interface, a wide range of promotions, a VIP club and customer service available 24/7.
Chris Moneymaker – who himself made poker millions by entering a US$39 satellite at this site – is just one of almost two dozen professional players that make up Team PokerStars. Who know... given the right cards at the right time, and your ability to play them well, your own name could soon be added to this list. Good luck!
