With three weeks to go before Phase 2 of PokerStars’ $5 million guaranteed Sunday Million 20th Anniversary begins, thousands of players are already locking in their spots. So far, 24,881 entries have been recorded across the completed $109 Phase 1 events, producing 799 qualifiers for the next stage.
Among them is popular streamer Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, who converted his 10,000 starting stack into 187,043 chips, currently placing him 544th heading into Phase 2. His position could still shift as more Phase 1 flights run before the September 6 start date.
PokerStars’ lobby currently lists $109 Phase 1 events firing at 4:25 p.m., 7:25 p.m., and 10:25 p.m. BST, a schedule expected to continue or expand as the Phase 2 deadline approaches.
Austria’s “go1vs1 legko” leads the overall counts with 1,076,054 chips, followed closely by Canada’s “getdamoney” with 1,045,132 — the only two players to surpass the million-chip mark so far. A top-10 stack currently requires more than 863,000 chips.
Other notable qualifiers include Steven “SvZff” van Zadelhoff, Peter “Belabacsi” Traply, Tom “Tom_Poker_NL” Talboom, Scott “Aggro Santos” Margereson, and Jussi “calvin7v” Nevanlinna, among several others. PokerStars’ Marle “MarlzTV” Spragg also advanced with 88,462 chips.
Players can still qualify through ongoing satellites starting at $0.55, special Spin & Go editions, or the weekly Ticket Machine draw, which awards 918 Phase 1 seats every Saturday.
