Sunday is traditionally the biggest day in online poker, at least where multi-table tournaments are concerned. Historically, PokerStars has had some of the biggest offerings on that day, while sites like partypoker, 888, and at times Unibet, try to challenge that more and more.

With other poker sites having suffered technical difficulties in recent weeks, this Sunday it was PokerStars that underwent some significant problems. Around 9 pm GMT, the site was first hit. The vast majority of the players were unable to connect, which resulted in players sitting out throughout all the tournaments running.

Eventually, all tournaments were canceled, but not before players lucky enough to be able to connect had amassed a ton of chips by 'stealing' the blinds and antes that were passed around as the majority of the players were sitting out due to being unable to connect.

PokerStars: Sunday Million

Date:August 12th
Buy-in:$215
Guarantee:$1,000,000
Players:5,504
Prize pool:$1,100,800
ITM:998
Original first-place prize:$148,672

One look at the lobby of the Sunday Million at PokerStars will show you the tournament easily met its $1,000,000 guarantee, but the $148,672 first-place prize was never awarded. With 1,755 players remaining in the tournament, the tournament was put on hold as most of the players weren't in their virtual seats.

The tournament was set to reward the top 998 players but all 1,755 got cash in their accounts, a result of the PokerStars Cancellation Policy.

The PokerStars client had suffered much wider problems well before the tournament was canceled but played on for a bit before the cancel tournament button was pushed. During that time, solely players from Bulgaria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Romania were able to play. So when the payouts were distributed in the canceled tournament, players from those four countries got the biggest sum. They were able to sit in and got rewarded the blinds and antes automatically as the rest could not connect.

PokerStars: Sunday Rebuy

Date:August 12th
Buy-in:$33+R
Guarantee:$50,000
Players:781
Rebuys:882
Add-ons:445
Prize pool:$63,240
ITM:134
Original first-place prize:$10,212

Things were a bit different in the $33+R Sunday Rebuy. When the tournament was canceled, 32 players remained. But, again well before that, the tournament was already experiencing technical difficulties. Romanian player “crinu_negru” was the only player able to connect, and he or she got a whole lot of blinds and antes before the tournament was indefinitely paused. This player got $16,379 following the PokerStars Cancellation Policy, a whole lot more than the originally slated first-place prize of $10,212.
