As players should now be aware we’re celebrating another milestone on PokerStars, with our Billionth Tournament Carnival. The reasons are pretty obvious and as you can imagine a number so big deserves a little extra. So this week we thought we would bump things up a bit with our Daily Bigs and our Hot Turbos.

Running from today through to Sunday November 30, the Daily Bigs promise a big money boost with more than $2 million in increased guarantees. What’s more we’re giving away more than $100,000 in random added ticket pies in the Big, Bigger, Biggest tournaments during the week. And did we say they’ll be an extra $200,000 in tournament number One Billion.

They’ll be a week of increased guarantees on PokerStars.

The Big: Starting today and running through to this Friday, The Daily Bigs tournaments will award added prizes, and guarantees will be increased by 50%
The Bigger: this Saturday, The Daily Bigs tournaments will be renamed ‘Bigger’ and have their guarantees doubled, plus award added prizes
The Biggest: then on Sunday, The Daily Bigs tournaments will be renamed ‘Biggest’ and have their guaranteed prize pools tripled. The biggest of them all will be Tourney Number One Billion, with a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and over $200,000 in added prizes.
