As you probably know, Sunday is the biggest day of the week for poker tournament players with just about every online poker room hosting major tournaments featuring bigger-than-normal prize pools.
This is especially true at 888poker, where not only are there numerous tournaments for lower buy-in players, but also two major events every Sunday that most serious poker players have their eyes on.
The $100,000 Mega Deep is the first major tournament of the day at 888poker, taking place at 12:30 ET. This event not only has a big prize pool for a $215 buy-in but also has an amazing structure for anyone that loves deep-stacked play. In addition to the 10,000 starting chips, blind levels only increase every 30 minutes giving players a chance to build a stack of chips. The tournament also provides players that start their Sunday poker sessions a bit later a chance to get in the action with 240 minutes of late registration.
The $100,000 Sunday Challenge 1R takes place later in the day at 15:35 ET. The action in this tournament is also deep with players starting out with 5,000 chips for their $90 buy-in and also given the opportunity for one rebuy for an additional $90. While this tournament features a faster structure than the Mega Deep with 15-minute blind levels, there are plenty of chances to build a stack. Also, players can late register for this tournament for up to 180 minutes.
Many players try to play both of these tournaments for a fraction of the cost with the many satellites tournaments running on 888poker throughout the week. Satellites for the Mega Deep start at just $2, and there are free paths including a First Depositors Challenge Freeroll for the Sunday Challenge.
Here's a look at the final table finishes during the month of June for the Mega Deep and Sunday Challenge.
