If you play Sit & Go tourneys at PokerStars, you're going to want to play some close attention to your games today, because there is big money on the line. Over the course of the next few days, PokerStars is going to be adding half a million dollars in cash prizes to the SNGs.
As you might know, PokerStars is edging up to tournament #900,000,000, and to celebrate, it's throwing a month long Carnival of Tournaments.
This week, the celebration is going golden. If you sit down at a SNG and your table turns gold, you're in for some big money.
For those of you who are fortunate enough to get a golden table, here's how it works. There are three levels of additional prizes.
BIG: You win your Sit & Go buy-in back, and will therefore be 'freerolling' in the tourney. The total prize pool will also be doubled.
BIGGER: You win 2x your Sit & Go buy-in, and the total prize pool will be tripled.
BIGGEST: You win 5x your Sit & Go buy-in, and the total prize pool will be multiplied by six.
For full details and rules, read the Golden SNGs information page.
Now get out there and go for the gold.
