888poker has increased the Sunday Challenge from a $50,000 guarantee to a $100,000 guarantee. That's huge �� a double up on the guarantee for the same low buy-in of $82+$8! The Sunday Challenge starts (obviously on Sunday) at 19:35 GMT and can be found under the "Tournaments - All" tab.

If a $90 buy-in is a little steep for your bankroll, begin with the "Steps" tournaments that start at $0.01. Play your way up through the levels to earn buy-ins to 888Live Local Events and big online tournaments like The Whale.

The Whale has a $200,000 guarantee and runs on the 4th Sunday of every month at 07:00 PM GMT. The buy in is $530 but you could get there for one cent - and, if you start now, you have three weeks to take that penny and your gaming skills and run it into a massive cash.
