The Sunday 10: Elite Value Picks for 2026

1. GGPoker: Sunday Million$ ($54)

Time: Day 2 starts at 18:00 UTC (Day 1s run daily)
Guarantee: $1,000,000
The Meta: This is a multi-flight "Volume" meta. Because you can play multiple Day 1s, the field size on Sunday is astronomical. The goal is to build a massive stack in an early flight to exploit the "survival" bubble play on Sunday. Expect wide ranges and high-aggression 3-betting in the early Sunday stages.

2. PokerStars: Sunday Million ($109)

Time: 18:00 UTC
Guarantee: $1,000,000
The Meta: The "Technical Grinder" meta. Now 8-max with 200BB starting stacks, this rewards technical, deep-stacked prowess. Unlike GG’s "lottery" feel, the Stars Million is where GTO (Game Theory Optimal) play still yields the highest edge. It is the purest "test" of poker on the Sunday schedule.

3. GGPoker: GGMasters ($150)

Time: 17:00 UTC
Guarantee: $1,000,000
The Meta: The "Freezeout" meta. With no re-entries allowed, the "punting" frequency is significantly lower. Players value their tournament life more than anywhere else. To win here, you must master the art of the "fold" tighten up your range vs. early position opens more than you would in a re-entry event.

4. WPT Global: Golden Bounty Championship ($25)

Time: Day 2 at 13:30 UTC
Guarantee: $250,000
The Meta: The "Recreational Overlay" meta. WPT Global is currently the softest major room in 2026. The field is heavy with Asian recreational players and WPT live qualifiers. The strategy here is "Value Bet Everything." Don't try to balance your ranges; just bet your big hands for maximum value.

5. CoinPoker: Sunday Special (₮200)

Time: 17:00 UTC
Guarantee: ₮50,000 (USDT)
The Meta: The "Crypto-Whale" meta. Using Tether (₮) keeps the "regs" away and attracts high-net-worth crypto enthusiasts. It’s an anonymous, no-KYC environment. The play is often wild and unconventional. The 33% flat rakeback means you can play a slightly tighter, higher-variance style and still stay profitable.

6. 888poker: Mystery Bounty Main Event ($109)

Time: 18:00 UTC
Guarantee: $150,000
The Meta: The "Bounty Variance" meta. 888 has pivoted hard into Mystery Bounties. The strategy shifts entirely once the "Gold Chests" (top bounties) are in play. You must be willing to take -EV (Expected Value) chips calls if it means a chance at a bounty that could be 100x the buy-in.

7. GGPoker: Global MILLION$ ($50)

Time: Day 2 at 18:00 UTC
Guarantee: $1,000,000
The Meta: The "Global Splash" meta. Designed to capture traffic from Asia to Brazil, the playing styles are erratic. You'll see massive over-betting and strange lines. Success here requires "Player Profiling"—quickly identify if your opponent is a conservative European reg or a splashing South American "hero."

8. PokerStars: Sunday Storm ($11)

Time: 19:00 UTC
Guarantee: $100,000
The Meta: The "Bingo" meta. With 10,000+ entries, you cannot "skill" your way through this without winning flips. Play a high-variance, high-aggression style early to build a stack that can weather the inevitable "bad beat" during the middle stages.

9. CoinPoker: Sunday Special "Medium" (₮50)

Time: 17:00 UTC
Guarantee: ₮20,000
The Meta: The "Bankroll Builder" meta. This is the best tournament in the world for moving from micro to mid-stakes. The field is small enough (usually under 500 players) that you can actually reach the final table with consistency, unlike the mass-entry fields on larger sites.

10. GGPoker: Sunday Hundred Grand ($15)

Time: 18:00 UTC
Guarantee: $100,000
The Meta: The "Satellite" meta. A huge portion of this field is in for $1 via satellites. These GGPoker players are often "scared money" as they near the bubble. This is the perfect environment for aggressive late-stage "Bully" play to steamroll your way into the top 100.
