$4 Million Guaranteed MicroMillions Returns to PokerStars From July 7
Table Of Contents
Online poker's most prestigious low-stakes tournament series is returning to PokerStars from July and bringing with it $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. The 2024 edition of the ever-popular MicroMillions sees 208 affordable events take place between July 7-21 in what will be a fortnight of incredible poker action.
Where many poker tournament festivals focus on high-stakes events, often with tournaments commanding four, five, or six-figure buy-ins, the MicroMillions events start from only $1.10 and top out at a still affordable $55.
However, just because MicroMillions tournaments don't cost the earth to enter doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to play for. The smallest guaranteed prize pool offered during the series is $1,500, and there are five events with six-figure guarantees, including the $500,000 guaranteed MicroMillions Main Event.
The MicroMillions Main Event
The 2023 MicroMillions Main Event cost $22 to enter and played as a progressive knockout tournament. It attracted 27,863 entrants, including re-entries, who generated a $557,260 prize pool. Greek grinder "deathcube77" came out on top, having fired two bullets, turning their $44 investment into $34,343, including bounty payments. They'll undoubtedly be back in the thick of it in the Main Event this year, hoping for a similar performance.
This year's MicroMillions Main Event is a $22 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Progressive Knockout tournament with $500,000 guaranteed. The cards are in the air from 6:05 p.m. BST on July 21, with late registration open for three hours and five minutes. You can re-enter up to five times if you dust off your 25,000 starting stack during that time.
Although a crowd of 25,000-30,000 entrants is expected, the MicroMillions Main Event is a one-day affair.
$55 is the most you will pay to enter any of the MicroMillions events; this sum is reserved for the High Roller, which starts at 7:05 p.m. BST on July 21. The $55 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Max High Roller comes with a juicy $250,000 guaranteed prize pool
Mystery Bounty Tournaments Make Their Debut
Mystery Bounty tournaments are a relatively new format at PokerStars, but they have proven popular during their infancy. You should not be surprised to learn that mystery bounty tournaments are debuting during the 2024 MicroMillions, with at least one running daily.
You'll find various mystery bounty events, including six-handed No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit 5-Card PLO, No-Limit Omaha, hyper turbos, and more.
