Panel Verdict: With PartyPoker no longer staging a $1m Guaranteed on Sundays this really has become internet poker’s Holy Grail. If you crack this tournaments week in, week out – such as internet poker stars JohnnyBax, Rizen and ActionJeff have done – you can consider yourself a true professional.

Site: Bodog.com
Tournament: $100,000 Guaranteed (NLH)
Buy-In: $100 $9
Time: Sundays, 9pm (UK Time)
Panel Verdict: One of the most popular major MTTs taking place on the net on Sunday nights. You can find excellent value, however, because it still doesn't attract the size of field you see on other sites, which sometimes leaves an overlay. Expect anywhere between 750 and 900 runners.
