PokerStars MicroMillions Returns in November With $5 Million Guaranteed
PokerStars today announced a $5 million guaranteed prize pool for the third installment of MicroMillions, the popular micro-stakes online tournament series launched earlier this year. The upcoming festival will take place from November 15-25, and feature 100 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from just 11 cents to $22.
The series will culminate with a $22 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Main Event with a guaranteed $1 million prize pool on Sunday, November 25 at 14.30 ET (20.30 CET). The winner of the tournament is guaranteed a minimum of $150,000.
