In celebration of the big football tournament happening in Brazil, PokerStars, the largest online poker site in the world, is running a $1 Million Guaranteed Football Fever Phase Tournament with a $27 buy-in. As PokerStars explained on its website, “Play any $27 Phase 1 tournament running daily from June 11 to July 5 at 05:25, 10:25, 13:25, 16:25, and 19:25 ET to advance into Phase 2.”

Phase 2, which will be the combined fields of all Phase 1 events, will take place on July 6. If you survive a Phase 1 tournament, you’ll move onto Phase 2, but won’t be able to enter another Phase 1 event. If you bust out of a Phase 1 tournament, you’re more than welcome to try again to qualify for Phase 2.

The tournament will guarantee $1 million and the winner will walk away with at least $100,000. Again, Phase 2, which is the finale of the Football Fever tournament, takes place on July 6, so make sure you can play that day.

PokerStars is also holding Daily Challenges as part of its Football Fever promotion and is giving away $500,000 between June 11 and June 28. New Challenges are available every day, along with a $100,000 Bonus Challenge.

Additionally, if you’re still rooting for a team in the big football tournament, show your pride by using PokerStars’ custom-made Football Fever avatars. As the site said, “To activate your avatar, click any of the ‘Football Fever Avatar’ banners in the PokerStars lobby… While the special Football Fever avatar will replace your previous avatar image, you can revert back to your original image at any time. Football Fever avatars can only be selected in the desktop client and each avatar will be available as long as that country is competing in the biggest football event of the year.”

Finally, if you complete your Football Fever Mission between July 7 and July 13, you’ll get entry into one of three $75,000 All-In Shootouts on July 16. You can choose a sit and go mission, ring game mission, or scheduled tournament mission, all of which involve playing a certain number of games or hands.
