LONDON, UK – May 31 – PokerStars today announced that the Sunday Majors tournament schedule will be moving to earlier time slots from June 5, and is marking the first weekend by doubling many of the guarantees and adding more than 1,800 tournament tickets!

The new schedule will see PokerStars’ flagship Sunday Majors tournaments – including the $215 Sunday Million ($1,000,000 Guaranteed) and $215 Sunday Warm-Up ($500,000 Guaranteed) – now take place at the new times of 14.30 ET (20.30 CET) and 11.00 ET (17.00 CET) respectively.

Double guarantees
The first Sunday of the new schedule, on June 5, will see many of the guarantees doubled, so that the Warm-Up and Million tournaments feature $1 million and $2 million guaranteed prize pools respectively. In total, $4,780,000 is guaranteed on June 5. Here is the full eight-tournament schedule:

08:00 ET $109 Sunday Kickoff [$150K Guaranteed]
11:00 ET $215 Sunday Warm-Up [$1M Guaranteed]

Value-added satellites
To celebrate the Sunday Majors schedule change, PokerStars is hosting a range of satellites from May 30 to June 5. Every day there will be tickets-added satellites into each one of the above tournaments on June 5. The special satellites will take place at the same time as the relevant Sunday tournament (except on June 5 itself, when they will be one hour before). The daily schedule is as follows:

08:00 ET Sunday Kickoff Sat: $11 Turbo [20 tickets added]
11:00 ET Sunday Warm-Up Sat: $22 Turbo [20 tickets added]
12:00 ET Sunday Rebuy Sat: $11 Turbo [20 tickets added]
13:30 ET Sunday Storm Sat: $1.10 Turbo [100 tickets added]
14:30 ET Sunday Million Sat: $22 Turbo [50 tickets added]
15:30 ET Sunday 500 Sat: $55 Turbo [10 tickets added]
16:30 ET Sunday 2nd Chance Sat: $22 Turbo [20 tickets added]
18:30 ET Sunday Supersonic Sat: $22 Turbo [10 tickets added]

Players who win one of the satellites will be credited with a ticket into the relevant tournament on June 5. The tickets must be used in the June 5 tournaments or they will be void. Any unused tickets will be worth the value of the satellite from which it came and will be paid in T$ (tournament dollars).

Players can find the Sunday Major tournaments in the PokerStars client lobby at Tourney > Special or the satellites at Tourney > Satellite.
