Guarantee of 10 million is easily met in the anniversary poker tournament.Pokerstars is hosting a very special Sunday Million today, as it is the 13th anniversary of the event.

To celebrate the anniversary, Pokerstars decided to make the guarantee for today's Sunday Million a whopping $10 million.

In order to help meet the guarantee, Pokerstars decided to temporarily increase the buy-in to $215 for this week only. Earlier this year, in an attempt to make the game more accessible to people with smaller bankrolls, Pokerstars cut the buy-in to $109.
