The biggest ever Sunday Million announced

A $12.5 million guarantee and a 24 hour late registration period for the 14th Anniversary of this landmark Sunday Major.

While the overall trend in recent years has been that the Sunday Million is getting smaller, the Anniversary event is always the exception, and this year it is going all out. 

The 14th Anniversary Sunday Million returns to its classic $215 price point on March 22 and will boast its biggest ever guarantee of $12.5 million

Once again that means $1 million will be guaranteed to the eventual winner.

The big change this year is that the tournament is a three day event where players can buy in at the start of Day 2, 24 hours after the initial start of the tournament. Day 2 starts at the 1,000/2,000 level meaning Day 2 registrations will start with 10 Big Blinds

It will be a re-entry event with satellites running before Day 2, so it will be possible to qualify for the tournament in advance, bust Day 1, then qualify again for Day 2. 

The biggest Sunday Million prior to this event was in 2011 when 62,116 entrants created a prize pool of $12,423,200.

Will you be late regging on Day 2? Let us know in the comments:
