Sun Poker Info - Details Big Events and Tournaments

After Sun Poker has joined the iPoker Network, this room has seen a huge improvement. First of all, the iPoker software is about the best product you can get if you are a serious online poker player. But even more important is the fact that Sun Poker customers npow have access to the huge array of tournaments on the iPoker network. Those tournaments include qualifiers for big land-based poker events like the ECPoker Tour in Malta, the APT in Macao,  and the WPT in Marrakech.
The ECOOP (European Championship of Online Poker), iPoker's own series of several big online tournaments (the total prize money of which is more than 14 Million $$) is about the most attractive series of big online poker tournaments with guaranteed prize money for each and every one of them. When this tournament series is coming up, you will find detailed info about schedules and ways to qualify here - just check the menu on the left side.

Big Tournament Events

Both these two big Sun Poker poker tournaments have clearly been scheduled with the European players in mind. Every Friday at 20:00 h GMT, there is a multitable tournament at Sun Poker with a $100.000 prize money guarantee and a buy-in of $109. This big tournament event at Sun Poker often sees more than 1000 players, so the prize money may even end up being higher than $100k.
That is also often the case at the $250.000 Guarantee, offered by Sun Poker every week on Sunday 19:00 GMT. You can buy in for $320, or rather play one of the many satellites and qualifiers that Sun Poker offers all week long
Players at Sun Poker have a reputation for being quite loose, so when you play those big tournament events (and the qualifiers and satellites), make sure you play your best (tight) game, at least until the weak players have been eliminated!

Sun Poker Satellites, Qualifiers for Online Poker Events

At Sun Poker, you can start with satellites and qualifiers at a mere $1,10 - that's about the cheapest way to get into one of those big tournaments. The qualification works in a 2-stage process, meaning you win the low-entry stage 2 tournament or Sit and Go, and then you get a seat in the stage 1 qualifier. What's especially very good about some of those stage 2 satellites is the fact that they give a seat in the targetted main event to as many as the top 50 finishers - so that the main task will be to survive stage 1, and then an experienced tournament player should not have problems staying in long enough to make the last 50 men (and ladies...) standing!

These are the satellites for the $100.000 Guarantee Rebuy/Add-on, $109 buy-in, on Friday 20:00 GMT
