Big Weekly Online Poker Tournaments

I really enjoy playing multi-table online poker tournaments.  The more entrants and the bigger the prize the better.  This post will look at some of the biggest weekly tournaments hosted at some of the best online poker sites.  I make some of these tournaments part of my weekly schedule and if you enjoy these type of tourneys I suggest you do the same.

Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt is my favourite poker room to play large multi-table poker tournaments.  Full Tilt offers great tournaments all week long, but there are a few each week that I thoroughly enjoy and hate to miss.

$200k Double Deuce

This tourney takes place every Sunday at 4:22pm EST.  There is $200,000 guaranteed and the buy-in is only $20 + $2!  First prize is at least $30,000 every week, which is quite the return on a little $20 investment (150000% return).  The $200k prize pool implies that around 10,000 players will enter.

$750K Sunday Guaranteed

$750,000 is up for grabs every Sunday at 5pm EST.  The buy-in for this event is $200 + $16 and there are many ways to enter this tourney without paying the buy-in (satellites, Full Tilt Points, etc.)  This week the prize pool is being doubled to $1.5M so March 6 is as good a time as any to win this tournament.

The Sunday Brawl

Here is another fun big money tournament at Full Tilt Poker.  Play begins at 2pm EST every Sunday.  The buy-in is $200 + $16 and $40 from every buy-in becomes a bounty on the players head.  The remaining amount goes to the prize pool, with $350k guaranteed every week.  If you happen to get the most knockouts you will also gain a free entry to next weeks Brawl.

Poker Stars

Sunday Million

This is the largest weekly tournament anywhere online.  $1M guaranteed every Sunday with the tourney starting at 4pm EST and the buy-in $215.  This is the biggest and baddest online poker tournament you can play.  To make matters even crazier this coming Sunday, PokerStars is making the prize pool $5,000,000 and guaranteeing $1,000,000 to the winner of the big event, plus the champion will bring home a Lamborghini Gallorado LP560-4!  Definitely check that out if you can.  Winning $1M from an online tournament sounds good to me.

Final Word

Full Tilt and PokerStars have some of the biggest and best weekly online poker tournaments available to players.  If you are looking for poker sites with the best mtt tournaments look no further than these two industry giants.  The PokerStars Sunday Million this coming week is going to be huge and I suggest everyone check it out!

PokerStars 25 Billion Bash Promotion

Pokerstars is close to dealing it’s 25 Billionth hand and to celebrate PokerStars is having a huge promotion called the 25 Billion Bash!  The poker promotion includes a variety of rewards and bonuses for PokerStars players including milestone hands, a reload bonus, the mega milestone hand and more!

Milestone Hands
Every millionth hand, starting from 24.5 billion, PokerStars is giving away cash prizes to the winners and the players dealt into the hands.  The higher the limit you are playing the bigger the prize will be.  At the micro limits the winner of a milestone hand wins $300, whereas if you play the high limits and win a milestone hand you receive $2500.

25% Reload Bonus
PokerStars is also offering at 25% reload bonus to all players.  It is very rare for PokerStars to offer reload bonuses and this would be a great opportunity to help build your poker bankroll if you are playing at Stars anyways.  The bonus is a 25% matching bonus up to $250.

Mega Milestone Hand
The 25 Billionth hand at PokerStars is going to be huge.  Over $250K will be won just on one hand of poker.  The winner receives a prize package of over $150K which includes $100,000 in cash as well as packages to the EPT Final, the WSOP, the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and the World Championships of Online Poker main event.  All other players that are dealt into the hand will split $100K.

Those are the main parts of the 25 Billion Bash put on by PokerStars, but we shouldn’t forget that Stars is also having $60,000 in new depositor freerolls for the days leading up to the 25 billionth hand.  The guarantees of the Sunday Million and Sunday Warm-Ups are also being increased for the occasion.
