Biggest Online Poker Tournaments

This is an article about which online poker sites run the biggest online poker tournaments and when these poker tournaments start. Before you enter the biggest poker tournaments you should definitely check out if the poker site runs any satellites, as you will often find that sites run satellites in to the big “featured” tournaments, remember a poker site wants as many people as possible to enter their biggest poker tournaments as it gives them huge bragging rights!

The biggest regularly run online poker tournament is the PokerStars Sunday Million. This tournament guarantees a prizepool of at least $1,500,000 although that amount is always exceeded, so sadly there is no overlay in this tournament! The tournament has a simple structure that is followed every Sunday, when the tournament starts. Players are given 10,000 chips to start with and blind levels are increased every 15 minutes, with blind levels starting at 25/50. There are tons of Sunday million satellites that run daily in a huge variety of formats. For more information about this specific tournament you should check out our Sunday Million page.

If you want to compete with over 7,000 players for a prizepool worth $1,500,00 you should sign up at PokerStars and play in the Sunday Million today.

The second largest online poker tournament that we advise checking out is the Titan Poker $250,000 guaranteed, yes it is much smaller then the Sunday million. This tournament often has around a thousand entrants, who each start with 2,000 chips. Blind levels increase in 15 minute periods and start at only 10/20 which leaves lots of time to ease your way in to the tournament. Titan Poker runs a series of satellites, which offer players the chance to win a discounted entry to this event, alternatively you can buy in to this tournament directly for $320.

Cake Poker hosts a weekly $100,000 guaranteed tournament, which is very popular with American poker players. Players looking to participate in this tournament can buyin directly for only $162, which makes this the cheapest “Big Money Online Poker Tournament” but the $100,000 prizepool is in turn much smaller then either the PokerStars or the Titan Poker featured tournaments. All participants are given a starting stack of 5,000 chips and blinds increase at 15 minute intervals. Unlike PokerStars, Cake Poker doesn’t run massive amounts of satellites to this event, which makes the direct buyin route the much more popular option with players.
