PokerStars Brings Back Sunday Million Live: €1 Million Prize Pool Awaits

PokerStars is bringing back the Sunday Million Live tournament after a nine-year hiatus. The event will take place from October 2 to 12 at Casino di Campione in Italy. The tournament features a €250 buy-in and a €1 million guaranteed prize pool. Players can begin their journey through one of three online Day 1s or six live Day 1s.

The online flights are scheduled for September 13, 20, and 27. The live Day 1s will be played on October 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 at the PokerStars Live poker room inside Casino di Campione. Players finishing in the top 12.5% of each starting flight after late registration closes will qualify for Day 2. Those players will carry their entire chip stack forward while also securing a minimum cash prize of €500.

In 2017, the tournament drew 5,045 entries, narrowly falling short of the guarantee and creating an overlay of roughly €50,000. The Sunday Million name has continued to grow online, expanding into several regulated markets, including Italy and the Southern European shared liquidity network. The tournament has also reached the United States through FanDuel Poker, where it debuted as two separate tournaments carrying $500,000 guarantees. This year’s 20th Anniversary edition introduced a lower $109 buy-in, daily Day 1 flights, and a summer schedule in place of its traditional spring date.
