$1m in cash to be given away in February

The Sun Poker one million dollar guaranteed is fast approaching us. For those who haven’t already heard, Sun Poker is holding a massive online poker tournament, with a guaranteed prizepool of at least $1,000,000. This Sun Poker $1 million guaranteed tournament is being held on Valentines day (February 14th) 2010 at 18:00.

Players can buy directly into this special tournament for $500+35, or you will be able to play in hundreds of different satellites that Sun Poker is running to win your way into the event. These satellites start for as little as 44 cents, and get as big as $280. Satellites for this one million guaranteed tournament include turbo tournaments, rebuys, addons, stage satellites, freezeouts, and more – basically any type of satellite you could think of.

The satellites started on January 11th and run all the way up until right before the $1 million guaranteed tournament begins. There is a different schedule for the satellite tournaments as the February 14th date gets closer, which is posted on the Sun Poker website for you to check out.

What does a $1 million guaranteed tournament mean? A guaranteed tournament means that the prizepool stated is guaranteed no matter how many buy-ins and players the poker room receives. In this example of a $1 million guaranteed it means that no matter what the prizepool will be $1,000,000 – but this doesn’t mean it can’t be more than that. If the poker room gets enough players playing, the prizepool can also be larger than the stated guaranteed amount. If the buy-ins total less than the guaranteed prizepool amount the room covers the rest of the prizepool giving players a great opportunity at money added to the prizepool.

Is Sun Poker Breaking History with this Massive Online Poker Prizepool?

No, although this $1 million guaranteed is a massive online poker tournament, it is not the first time a poker room has had a tournament of this size. The world’s largest online poker room, PokerStars, often holds tournaments with prizepools over $1 million. If you are interested in PokerStars be sure to use a PokerStars marketing code when signing up. I personally recommend playing at Sun Poker over PokerStars because of how many good players play at PokerStars (Sun poker is a lot easier competition).
