You better be, it's going to be incredible and action-packed. There's $27,000,000 to be won during the PokerStars December Festival and it kicks off this Sunday (1 December). There's the return of the old favourites - Golden Sit & Go's and Milestone hands - as well as some great new promotions, including the first ever WCOOP Challenge Series ($10,000,000 guaranteed) and December Mission Week. Expect a high-octane run-in to the end of the year! Check out the highlights below, starting with this weekend's Double Vision Sunday. Double Vision Sunday (1 December) On Sunday, 1 December all the largest weekly guarantees will run twice (double vision, get it?). The Sunday Million, Sunday Warm-Up, Sunday Kickoff and Sunday Storm will double down with two tournaments apiece so expect a lot of juicy action. Find out more about... Double Vision Sunday $500,000 Golden Sit & Go's (2-8 December) Golden Sit & Go's are back! Each time you're seated to play there's a chance that your sit & go could be made a medal winner. Bronze: Everyone wins their buy-in back. Freeroll time. Silver: Everyone wins three times their buy-in and the prize pool is tripled.

Golden Sit & Go's Million Dollar Sundays (8 & 15 December) The guarantees are going through the roof in December meaning they'll be some incredible amounts of cash to be won. Take a look at the Sunday Million. On 8 December, the Sunday Million will be bolstering its guarantee to an enormous $5,000,000 (up from its usual $1,000,000). That means first-place will be slated for a minimum $475,000 payout! Don't forget that you can satellite in for significantly less than the $215 buy-in, as little as a few dollars or even Frequent Player Points. 8 December 11:00 ET: $215 Sunday Warm-Up, $1,000,000 guarantee 14:30 ET: $215 Sunday Million, $5,000,000 guarantee 15 December 13:30 ET: $11 Sunday Storm, $1,000,000 guarantee 15:30 ET: $530 Sunday 500, $1,000,000 guarantee Find out more about...
