Usually, March is “In like a lion, out like a lamb,” but April is set to go out roaring this year on PokerStars US. On the final Sunday of the month, the operator is putting $1.5 million in guarantees up for grabs across its two jurisdictions.
April 30 will be a big day in real money US online poker as PokerStars US throws a huge Sunday party with $1.5 million in guaranteed prizes. The new shared player pool between New Jersey and Michigan will have a cool million in guarantees on its own, while Pennsylvania online poker players can look forward to a Half Million Dollar Sunday.
Half those guaranteed prizes are locked up in the Million Dollar Sunday Special at 5:00 pm on both clients. Players on the combined PokerStars NJ/PokerStars MI network can look forward to $500k guaranteed for that game alone, while PokerStars PA players will be playing for at least $250k in the extra special Sunday Special.
There is a lot of interest in the upcoming games, as expressed by US Ambassador David Kaye. “After a successful US SCOOP series, PokerStars continues to push the envelope of what’s possible in the USA regulated market. I’m excited to compete in what will go down as the most epic tournament day in the history of our emerging market!”

Shared Liquidity Market Shares in $1 Million on Sundays
With the first shared player pool in the US since 2017, the new market combining PokerStars NJ and PokerStars MI leads the way in the latest Sunday schedule with a whole million dollars guaranteed while players in PA can look forward to $500,000 on offer every Sunday.
Starting on April 30, there will be nine feature games on the beefed-up schedule in PA, while the NJ/MI compact gets ten games to sink their teeth into. The games kick off at 1 pm local time with the Sunday Marathon, a $50 game that guarantees $25k in NJ/MI and $15k in PA.
The headline events in both markets will be the $200 Sunday Special tournaments. Half the Sunday guarantees are locked up in this game, with $500k in NJ/MI and $250k in PA. That game starts at 5 pm and is a two-day event in both markets.
