How To Win Your Way Into the $1.5M Sunday Million Season Finale at PokerStars
The inaugural Sunday Million Season is rapidly approaching its thrilling conclusion, which is highlighted by a $109 buy-in, $1.5 million guaranteed Sunday million tournament on April 21. Players from far and wide are set to descend on PokerStars for the massive Sunday Million Season Finale in an attempt to walk away with the title of champion and a top prize deep into six figures.
Before the finale, there is the not so small matter of this weekend's Sunday Million Season events, which have combined guaranteed prize pools of $1.5 million.
- $109 buy-in, $1 million guaranteed Sunday Million Progressive Knockout
- $11 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed Sunday Storm 13th Anniversary Edition
Episode 15 is the $1 million guaranteed Sunday Million Progressive Knockout. It commands a $109 buy-in unless you win your way in via satellites starting at only $1.10, with cards in the air from 6:00 p.m. WET on April 14.
Your best route into this seven-figure prize pool event is via two $11 buy-in Mega Sats running at 6:05 p.m. WET on April 13 and 4:05 p.m. WET on April 14. The former has 100x $109 seats guaranteed, with the latter awarding at least 200 seats!
The eagerly anticipated Sunday Storm 13th Anniversary Edition shuffles up and deals at 7:05 p.m. WET on April 14, and it will be huge. The tournament needs 50,000 entrants to hit its ambitious guarantee. At the time of writing, a shade under 5,000 PokerStars players have bought in or won $11 tickets via satellites starting at only $0.55.
Those of you with a Step 3 Power Path ticket in your account, or who win one before the Sunday Storm 13th Anniversary Edition's late registration closes, can use that ticket to jump into the Sunday Storm action, giving you additional routes to playing this value-packed tournament. Unlimited re-entries are permitted in this event, so winning additional buy-ins for less than the tournament's $11 cost is most certainly worthwhile.

$1.5 Million Guaranteed Finale on April 21
The Sunday Million Season wraps up on April 21 with a trio of Season Wrap-Up and The Epilogue events, but it is the $109 buy-in, $1.5 million guaranteed Sunday Million Season Finale that every PokerStars player dreams of winning.
Whether you buy in direct, redeem a Power Path ticket, or win a traditional satellite, you'll sit down with 50,000 chips and play to blinds starting at 125/250/30a. Levels last 15 minutes for the first 13 levels, then shorten to 12 minutes from Level 14-33, before extending back to 15 minutes until a champion is crowned.
Up to five re-entries are permitted for the first four hours. Day 1 concludes after 7 hours and 50 minutes, with Day 2 starting at 6:00 p.m. WET on April 22. This is an old-school Sunday Million with no mystery or progressive bounties, just good old-fashioned No-Limit Hold'em tournament action!
Sunday Million Season Finale satellites are in the PokerStars lobby right now, starting at $5.50 and topping out at $11. Right now, there are no Mega Sats scheduled, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will appear right after this weekend's Sunday Million Season episodes. Don't forget, you can always climb up the Power Path levels and use the $109 ticket to enter this $1.5 million guaranteed affair, or keep climbing and a Silver Pass or a Gold Pass for a $2,500 or $10,300 Online Tickets Bundle. The choice is yours.
