Billionaire Poker Event Kicks Off: Gold Sit-and-Go Championship Commences Today
Celebrate with PokerStars at the Millionth Tournament Carnival!
Get ready for two weeks of non-stop poker action as PokerStars reaches 1 billion tournaments! From November 17 to 30, join the party with increased guarantees, special tournaments, prize draws, and golden sit & go's. Don't miss out on this epic poker festival - everyone is welcome!
Golden Sit & Go's Kickoff: Get your poker gears primed tonight at 21:00! Gold rushes are on their way with at least $500,000 in prizes up for grabs. The prize level (Level 1, 2, or 3) for each sit & go will be randomly determined.
- Level 1: You'll get your tournament buy-in back, so you can play for free! The prize pool will double.
- Level 2: You'll get double the buy-in, and the prize pool will triple.
- Level 3: You'll get 5 buy-ins back, and the prize pool will increase sixfold!
So, what are the possibilities? Picture this: You join a nine-player turbo sit & go with a $15 buy-in that fetches a prize level of 3. If you make it to the final table, all players will pocket $75, and the prize pool will skyrocket from $125 to $750!
Special Awards Galore! Reach these milestone prize amounts, and you'll be in for some exciting awards added to the regular golden sit & go prizes:
- Special Award: You'll get a 10x tournament buy-in plus $100, and a 10x prize pool will be added to the already increased prize pool.
- Mega Award (at the $500,000 mark): You'll get a 20x tournament buy-in plus $500, and a 20x prize pool will be added to the already increased prize pool.
Example: Suppose, at the moment, $399,854 has been awarded in golden sit & go's. You've registered for a turbo tournament with a $30 buy-in that reaches prize level 2. If you hit the final table, all tournament participants will receive $60, and the prize pool will triple to $501 instead of $167. As a result, the total prize awarded in golden sit & go's will exceed $400,000, so you'll be in for the Special Awards! All tournament participants will receive $300 (10x the buy-in) plus $100. Additionally, $1,670 will be added to the $501 prize pool, making it a grand total of $2,171!
Remember, if the special awards are so lucrative that another milestone is hit immediately, only the prize for reaching the first milestone will be paid out in golden sit & go's.
How to Win Golden Sit & Go Prizes:
- Register for any Sit & Go tournaments in the PokerStars lobby under the 'Sit & Go' tab. Once all seats are filled, you'll find out if your tournament is golden. If it is, a message will appear on your screen, letting you know which of the three prize levels your Sit & Go has reached and if a special milestone has been achieved. Prizes will be credited to your account immediately after the tournament ends.
Remember, you can win prizes in sit & go's for any poker variant with any buy-in, including heads-up, 6-max, multi-table, and hyper-turbo. Satellites and Step tournaments cannot be golden sit & go's. When calculating the prize pool in rebuy tournaments, only the initial amount is multiplied (without rebuys).
