€50,000 Gtd Sweat at Betfair Poker
Get ready to play in two superb tournaments at Betfair Poker on April 26, both with five-figure prize pools.
The Main Sunday Sweat and Ultimate Sweat kick off at the same time of 7:30 p.m. CET on April 26 and they’re definitely worth your attention. Each costs €100 to enter, unless you manage to bag yourself a cut-price ticket in the €10 buy-in satellites that run frequently.
€40,000 is guaranteed in the Main Sunday Sweat with at least €50,000 up for grabs in the Ultimate Sweat. Oh, we almost forgot, these Sweat tournaments are PKO events, meaning you can rack up plenty of cash by eliminating your opponents! Bust a couple of them and you’ll essentially be freerolling towards a main prize pool prize.

Turn $11 Into a Share of $1M Gtd in the PokerStars Sunday Storm
PokerStars is giving you the chance to turn a mere $11 investment into a first-place prize worth $100,000 this weekend. April 26 at 8:00 p.m. CET is the time and date you need to remember because that’s when the Sunday Storm 9th Anniversary edition shuffles up and deals.
An incredible $1 million is guaranteed to be paid out in this $11, yes $11 buy-in tournament! At least $100,000 is guaranteed to be awarded to the Sunday Storm’s champion. Imagine turning $11 into $100,000. It’s the thing dreams are made of.
The sheer number of entrants has forced PokerStars to make this a two-day event. Day 1 concludes at the end of the 42nd 10-minute level. Play resumes at 8:00 p.m. on April 27 with the clock extended to 12-minutes.
You could even be playing in this tournament for less than the already affordable $11 buy-in because a plethora of satellites are running round the clock. These satellites start at only $0.55 so it’s worth trying to win a couple of tickets because you can re-enter in the Sunday Storm up to three times during late registration, which is open for the first two-hours 35-minutes of play.
We can’t wait to see who wins this tournament, hopefully, it’s you.
