PartyPoker's global platform returns this week with the latest iteration of party's popular MILLIONS Online KO series, where in a twist, it's all-progressive-knockout tourney formats for virtually all of the month of May. What's settling in as a twice-a-year series gets underway on Thursday, May 4, and runs all the way through Sunday, May 28.
The all-KO -- or rather, all-PKO -- series features ten events spread across the next three and a half weeks. Each of the ten events offers at least a $100,000 prize-pool guarantee, topped by the $500,000 being offered for the series' main event.
This time around, the no-limit hold'em main event features a $530 buy-in and runs May 7 through May 28. The series also includes a PLO progressive-KO main event, which runs for the same three-week stretch and includes a $200 buy-in.
All told, the special progressive-KO series will guarantee at least $1.9 million in prize money, including several different formats all wrapped under the progressive-knockout umbrella. It's a complimentary twist that follows up on the success of last October's 53-event MILLIONS Online KO series, which featured standard KO-format events.
Here's the complete schedule:
