The Sunday Millions Season is nearing its thrilling conclusion, with the $1.5 million guaranteed Sunday Million Season Finale set to shuffle up and deal at 6:00 p.m. WET on April 21. Thousands of players are grinding satellites for that $109 buy-in event, but there are five tournaments taking place at PokerStars this week that could see you playing in the Sunday Million Season Finale and bagging plenty of bragging rights to boot.
Fintan “easywithaces” Hand, Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot, Rafael “GM_VALTER” Moraes, and Lex “L. Veldhuis” Veldhuis, are each hosting a PokerStars Ambassadors Sunday Million Season event bearing their names. All five events are either progressive knockout or mystery bounty tournaments, but the five mentioned ambassadors will enter the fray with an additional bounty on their heads: a $109 ticket to the $1.5 million guaranteed Sunday Million Season Finale on April 21.
If you bust the PokerStars Team Pro from their event, the $109 ticket and a shot at the big time are yours!

The $1.5 Million Guaranteed Sunday Million Season Finale
Whether you buy in direct, redeem a Power Path ticket, win a traditional satellite, and bag a seat by busting a PokerStars ambassador, you’ll sit down with 50,000 chips and play to blinds starting at 125/250/30a. Levels last 15 minutes for the first 13 levels, then shorten to 12 minutes from Level 14-33, before extending back to 15 minutes until a champion is crowned.
Up to five re-entries are permitted for the first four hours. Day 1 concludes after 7 hours and 50 minutes, with Day 2 starting at 6:00 p.m. WET on April 22. This is an old-school Sunday Million with no mystery or progressive bounties, just good old-fashioned No-Limit Hold’em tournament action!
Sunday Million Season Finale satellites are in the PokerStars lobby right now, starting at $5.50 and topping out at $11. Right now, there are no Mega Sats scheduled, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will appear right after this weekend’s Sunday Million Season episodes. Don’t forget, you can always climb up the Power Path levels and use the $109 ticket to enter this $1.5 million guaranteed affair, or keep climbing and a Silver Pass or a Gold Pass for a $2,500 or $10,300 Online Tickets Bundle. The choice is yours.
