Hot on the heels of their 17th Anniversary Sunday Million extravaganza, PokerStars are about to celebrate another anniversary of another major online poker tournament fixture.

For the past 12 years, poker fans from around the world have enjoyed the thrills and spills that are guaranteed with the very popular Sunday Storm and, on 16 April at 14:00 ET, the biggest Storm of the year is coming your way in the shape of the Sunday Storm Anniversary…

Amazingly, the usual $11 buy-in is still in place for this special event, but the guaranteed prize pool is being bumped up from $100,000 to a massive $700,000 – that’s fantastic value whether you’re a recreational player or a seasoned pro!

And to add even more spice to proceedings the tournament will have a Progressive Knockout format – it’s a (positive) sign of the times that no respectable real money online poker industry leader should miss out on an opportunity to host a Bounty tournament these days. The bonus for players, of course, is that it’s possible to add to your bankroll by picking up bounties as you go – you don’t even have to make the prizes.

PokerStars KO.

Poker for All

As well as simply buying in directly – and you can do so during 280 minutes of late registration – you can also take advantage of $75,000 in added-value satellites.

Mega satellites, with the slower structures and large fields, have less variance and offer an opportunity for hundreds of players to earn a Sunday Storm Anniversary ticket. Qualifiers on Sunday, 9 April and Saturday, 15 April (15:10 ET) each boast 500 seats! You can buy in for just $1.10 or start your quest for nothing via Freeroll Feeders.

Meanwhile, special edition Sunday Storm Anniversary Sit & Go satellites will run on demand around the clock in the run-up to the big day. These ultra-fast, three-player tournaments have buy-ins starting at just 50 cents!
