NEW $109 SUNDAY MILLION

In case you haven't heard, PokerStars' biggest weekly tournament--the prestigious Sunday Million--will now cost just $109 to enter, down from $215.

The plan is simple. We want to open online poker's flagship event to more and more players. The lower buy-in will do that while ensuring the 'Milly' remains the Sunday Major every player wants to win.

But what changes can you expect?

For at least the first week, the buy-in is the only major change. Everything else will remain the same.

PSPC CHAMP ON HIS JOURNEY TO $5.1M

If you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you might not know that a little tournament called the PSPC played out in the Bahamas recently.

That 'little' tournament had a $25K buy-in, more than 1,000 runners, and a $5.1 million first prize. Spain's Ramón Colillas (a Platinum Pass winner) emerged victorious, winning the life-changing amount in front of his family and friends.

If you were watching the action play out on the live stream, you'll be familiar with Colillas. But what you might not know is how he got to be in that position.

Here's Colillas' story, told by Brad Willis.

MARIA KONNIKOVA AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Scotland Poker Tournaments 2019 2020

Last week Maria Konnikova was in the Bahamas grinding at the PCA. This week, however, she swapped sunny Nassau for snowy Davos, Switzerland, and a new problem to solve.

Konnikova is currently a participant at the World Economic Forum, trying to build community and help advance global interests alongside political and business leaders and other influential thinkers.

€100,000 SPIN & GO VICTORY

'To be honest, when I saw a strange colour on the screen, I thought something had gone wrong! I was playing on several tables and I did not realize immediately that I had found the maximum multiplier.'

Those are the words of Italy's Samuel Murer, who turned €10 into €100,000 this week in a single PokerStars Spin & Go.

PokerStars Blog caught up with Murer to find out how it all went down, and his plans for the future. Check that out below.

BIG $44 VICTORY LEADS TO NEW PUPPY FOR FINTAN HAND

Back on Saturday, PokerStars Team Online's Fintan Hand took down the Big $44 for $3,421, defeating a 523-player field. It was another fantastic result for Hand, who has been on fire over the past few months.

But this victory is a little different to the others. It not only added a few thousand to the bankroll but also led to Hand gaining a new family member.

Y'see, prior to his victory, Hand's girlfriend had told him that should he take it down, they would get a new puppy.
