PokerStars announces $5M prize pool for Micro Millions
PokerStars has confirmed the final details for the second edition of the Micro Millions tournament series. The Micro Millions II will run from July 12 through 22 and will offer a combined prize pool of $5 million.
PokerStars has on Monday night announced the final details for the second edition of the Micro Millions tournament series, including a combined prize pool of $5 million.

The Micro Millions is designed to cater to recreational and micro stakes players, and will offer a full range of tournaments across a wide range of formats.

All in all, PokerStars has lined up 100 events, with buy-ins ranging from just 11 cents to $22.

The festival will run from July 12 through 22, and will culminate with a $22 Main Event, which offers a guaranteed $150,000 first prize payout to one lucky winner.

The remaining events will also feature tempting guarantees, adding up to a combined $5 million prize pool for the entire series.

Satellites for the events are also available, and will run around the clock on PokerStars from today and all the way up to the series' first event on July 12.

The first edition of the Micro Millions was played in March this year, and saw player "Zabaleta1" make his way through a monster 54,065-player field to claim the $22 Main Event title.

The win gave "Zabaleta1" a first prize payout of $140,000 after striking a three-way deal on the final table.

In addition to the guaranteed prized, the Micro Millions will also feature a leaderboard challenge, in which one winner will be awarded with a $15,000 package for PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January next year.

This is one of the greatest promotions I have seen in a while. Finally something that really appeals to the low stakes players. 5 million in GTD and a max buy-in of $22 sounds great. To bad Im a US player.

It's a good promotion,i will play few tournaments but i will not play in those with rebuy/addon and the very low buy-ins because in those the first 30 minutes it's bingo time.in 0,11 will be players who will make 20-30 buy-ins and go all in with any 2 cards.it's better to avoid those kind of tournaments.

Im also looking forward to the micromillions, cant wait to play in this, pro's and low stakes players mixing = donkfest.. but a donkfest with good payouts and prizes.

the $22 buy in for million guarenteed sounds really good, micromillion has to be one of biggest promotions for internet players.

I also agree with vali, i will be trying to avoid the rebuy tournaments except for definately event 001 and 002 where it may be pot luck, but for small buy in its a massive guaranteed pot with decent payouts.
