PokerStars Spooky Season Sunday Million

Halloween may be over, but there are still plenty of treats to be had in the PokerStars Spooky Season. The curtain comes down on the season this weekend, which means it is almost time for the Sunday Million Season Finale.

Episode 45 is the $109 No-Limit Hold'em Progressive KO Season Finale Sunday Million. Cards are in the air from 6:05 p.m. GMT on November 8 and by the time only one player remains, PokerStars guarantees to have awarded at least $1 million.

Those entering this spooky Sunday Million must be prepared to grind for two days. Day 1 concludes seven hours and 50 minutes after the first cards are dealt, while Day 2 shuffles up and deals at 6:05 p.m. GMT on November 9. Play on Day 2 continues until a champion emerges from the field.

As this edition of the Sunday Million is a Progressive KO tournament, it is possible to win big without advancing to the regular prize pool money places. Everyone sits down with a $50 bounty on their head. Eliminating an opponent results in 50% of that bounty landing in the eliminator's PokerStars account, with the other 50% increasing their bounty amount.

Satellites From Only $1.10

Don't be perturbed by the Spooky Season's Sunday Million's $109 buy-in because PokerStars is running budget satellites around the clock. The $1.10 satellite is the cheapest for this event. The next $1.10 satellite starts at 8:25 p.m. GMT on November 8. It has a 10x $109 seat guarantee.

Four satellites guarantee at least 100 seats at $109 each. All four cost $11 to enter. They begin at 6:05 p.m. and 8:05 p.m. GMT on November 7, and at 3:15 p.m. GMT on November 8. At 4:05 p.m. GMT on November 8, the $11 satellite has a cool 150 seats waiting to be won.
