Return of PokerStars Micro Millions Tournament
This was published 12-07-2013PokerStars, the world’s leading online poker room, launched the Micro Millions tournament series in March, 2012 and it has since become one of the most popular poker festivals on the internet,
The fifth series of Micro Millions will commence on Thursday, 18th July and will run until Monday, 28th July, 2013.
PokerStars created Micro Millions in order to give players an opportunity to participate in a huge tournament series with lucrative guaranteed prize pools without the necessity of laying out too much money. PokerStars feels that despite the fact that the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) is a great tournament, it is not everyone who can afford to buy in to the tourney. Very low rollers are also not able to afford to buy in to the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP).
However, the Micro Millions has an 11 cent kick-off event with most tournaments having buy-ins that range from $1 to $5.50 and a couple hitting $11. The most expensive event in this tournament is the Main Event which is scheduled to commence at 2.30 pm ET on Monday, 28th July, 2013, with a buy in of $22.
The Micro Millions will consist of 100 tournaments with guaranteed prize pools totaling $5 million. On the first day the events will begin at noon, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:30pm, and 10:00pm ET. The following day, the events commence at 2:00am, 4:00am, 6:00am, 8:30am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, 3:30pm, 6:30pm, and 10:00pm.
