The biggest guaranteed tournament of the week and PokerStars' longest-running online poker tournament, the Sunday Million, was the star performer of the weekend.
The tournament with its new guaranteed prize pool of $2.5 million brought in 34,077 entrants to take its prize pool to $3.4 million —a record for the tournament with a $109 buy-in. This also makes it the second week in a row that the tournament exceeded $3 million paid out to players.
Partypoker did equally well this past Sunday with three of its online poker tournaments exceeding seven-figure prize pools.
The $215 buy-in partypoker MILLION that concluded yesterday attracted over 6500 entrants throughout the week to swell its prize pool to $1.3 million. The same tournament had been struggling to meet its seven-figure guarantee for months.

GGPoker’s marquee tournament, GGMasters, boasting an ambitious $500,000 in guaranteed prize money, drew its second-largest turnout ever after 3203 players joined the virtual felt. However, the tournament fell short of its guarantee, creating an overlay of nearly $60,000 and once again turning out to be a great value for the players.
PokerStars Sunday Million Enjoys Another Record Turnout
One of the tournaments that have seen incredible growth over the past few weeks is PokerStars’ longest and oldest running tournament, the Sunday Million.
Usually generating prize pools in the neighborhood of $1 million, the tournament is now seeing prize pools three times as large.
Last Sunday, the tournament drew 34,077 entries (25,163 unique players and 8914 re-entries) to build a record prize pool of $3.4 million for a regular Sunday Million. The week prior, the tournament attracted over 31,000 entries to generate a $3.1 million prize pool which was a record itself.
If the tournament continues to perform this way, PokerStars could very well increase its guarantee to $3 million for the upcoming Sunday Million on April 19.
