PokerStars is marking the anniversaries of two of its biggest and most well-loved online poker tournaments, the Sunday Million and Sunday Storm.

In celebration, the two prestigious online events will guarantee a combined $11 million [nearly £8million] in prizes, with plenty of routes for players to qualify.

Played by more than 1.2 million players since it began, the Sunday Storm celebrates its seventh anniversary on February 4 with a $1 million guarantee, including a minimum of $100,000 [£72,680] for first place.

The Sunday Million, which first appeared on March 6, 2006, marks its 12th birthday the same day with a guaranteed prize pool of $10 million, including $1 million for first place. Players who get knocked out of either anniversary tournament will have the option to re-enter up to three times, keeping the dream of winning life-changing money alive.
