PokerStars Brings Sunday Million Back to the Live Felt After Nine Years

One of online poker’s most recognizable tournaments is heading back to the live felt as the Sunday Million will take place at Casino di Campione in Italy this October.

What are a couple of common mistakes players make deep in tournaments that cost them great results?

Alex Fitzgerald takes a deep dive into this topic and brings some of his own observations as well as tips how you can remove these obstacles.

Ana Marquez: accidental poker pro.

Ana Marquez’s path to the top of Spanish poker was anything but conventional. Growing up in Málaga, she had zero exposure to the game until a move to Washington, D.C. for her studies. There, poker first caught her eye as a topic for a university thesis. That research quickly turned into a passion, and later, a career.

Marquez credits her success to treating poker as a strategic game rather than gambling. She says, “Once I realized how much I loved the game, I consciously gave myself a year to explore whether I could make a living from it. That year ended up changing my life.”

Her achievements include being named GPI Female Player of the Year in 2013 and becoming an ambassador for ACRPoker. According to Marquez, her story is proof that sometimes the best opportunities come from unexpected places.

Denys Chufarin’s story, is a bit more dramatic than your typical grind-to-riches tale.

The Ukrainian high-stakes pro started with just $65 and built it into a four million dollar bankroll, all while fleeing war and starting over in Canada. The video focuses on his resilience, both at the tables and in life.

A law career was in the cards for Chufarin, but he chose the felt instead. When conflict hit Ukraine, he moved his family to BC and kept competing against the toughest fields in online poker. He says the game is about making the best decisions possible with incomplete information, which, according to him, is a lot like life when you’re forced to uproot everything.

“Just like in poker, you do the best you can with the info you have.”

There’s less glamour and more grit in his story. But apparently, grit can build a bankroll too.

PokerStars Ambassador, David Lappin, takes a look at the shot clock, introduced at the WSOP Main Event to curb stalling.

The intent was to cut down on endless tanking, but the article argues that giving everyone a fixed time per decision might actually encourage slow play rather than fix it.

Players now have 20 seconds for their first decision and 30 seconds for subsequent ones, with a handful of extensions.

All dissected in the article below.

Wait, what? Alex Livingston lost $40K playing beer pong at 22?!

Incredible degeneration stories on the Face the Ace podcast.

Did you know within The Chip Race podcast is a treasure trove of strategy advice and lessons?

By David Lappin’s calculations there is 20 hours of free strategy content for you to get your teeth into.

This is pretty cool from Octopi Poker.

Replay every WSOP streamed hand and then play the final table. It’s actually a super cool concept, imo.

It’s still hard to wrap my head around stand up players like Pads and Jeremy, showing support for CoinPoker.

Honestly, what are we missing, cos the outfit seems shady AF.

PokerStars on FanDuel celebrated its largest jackpot to date, awarding $250,000 to a Pennsylvania player who turned a $50 buy-in into a life-changing windfall.

The win came from a Spin-and-Go tournament, where the player, “Jesuz1sBlac,” not only spun the highest multiplier but also outlasted two other competitors.

The million-dollar jackpot, first introduced before the 2026 World Cup, still looms in the $5 games.

BetRivers Poker is running a couple of summer promos aimed at SNG and cash game players across four states.

The SNG Cub3d Punch Card gives you a shot at free tickets for every three SNGs you play, and you do not even have to opt in. Entry to daily raffles is automatic, and you can get multiple prizes if you play at several stakes.

For cash game fans, the Splash2 promo returns 25 percent of all rake generated to players as Splash Pots during peak hours. The idea is simple: the more you play when the games are busy, the more you could get back, if you are lucky enough to hit a Splash Pot.
