Powerhouse poker site PokerStars.com has one of the best and most valuable poker tournaments on the net. The Sunday Million has an astonishing 1 million dollar plus prize pool and with 4000 – 7000 active participants, the tournament isn’t an easy one to survive. The final table participants usually make a deal regarding the prize pay-out. First prize usually takes
home around $150,000 plus while most of the final table players walk away with $50,000 plus.
PokerStars does not give rakeback and does very little to reward loyalty compared to the smaller sites who compete for their business. It’s a strange phenomenon – most players play at PokerStars but get very little back in the form of cash or an extensive VIP shop. But despite this, players choose to play at PokerStars. The one attractive commodity PokerStars possesses is their extensive poker tournament section. At the WSOP Main Event $10 000 buy in PokerStars had 1600 players representing them and most of those players won an entry through one of their many satellites. |
