Earlier today, PokerStars has announced the Billionth Tournament Carnival promotion – a series of tournaments to celebrate the tournament number one billion to take place on the biggest online poker room. The promotion will run November 17 – 30.

The promotion will encompass both sit & go and multi-table tournaments, featuring the return of Golden Sit & Go’sand $3 million increase in guarantees in some of the biggest and most popular daily MTTs like daily Bigs and Hot Turbos.

One billion tournaments is just so sick! I’ve played thousands of PokerStars tournaments over the years, and I learned so much from them, it definitely was a huge part of my success. After all these years I’m glad to see there are still huge prize pools and massive turnouts every day of the week on PokerStars. It really is the best place to play poker!

One Billionth Tournament

The big event will take place on November 30. The tournament with the buy-in of $109 will feature a huge $2 million guarantee (and if past is any indicator, this will be shattered). In addition to this, during the first 2.5 hours of the tournament, more than $200k in cash and prizes will be given out to randomly selected players. The prizes include 108 x $1,000 in cash, 90 x $215 Sunday Million tickets, 90 x Big $109 tickets and much more.

Golden Sit & Go’s and MTT Guarantees

As for Golden Sit & Go’s, $500,000 will be awarded to the players during the time span. Tournaments will be selected randomly and players can win up to 20 x the buy-in.

Daily guarantees will be significantly increased as well. In the week November 24 – November 30, guarantees in the Bigs will be boosted by over $2 million and will feature more than $100k in added prizes. Hot Turbos will also be boosted by $1 million in guarantees and have another $100k in added prizes.


A lot of money up for grabs in the coming days, so online grinders will certainly find their way to the tables, even with some of the recent protests and discontent; and online poker is about to create another big winner on November 30.
