PokerStars’ MicroMillions 5 offering $5m from July 18-28

Once again, PokerStars will be giving low stakes players the opportunity to compete in a huge poker tournament series. MicroMillions 5 will run from July 18th-28th, 2013 and offer a guaranteed $5 million prize pool. In all, there’ll be 100 events with buy-ins ranging from $0.11 to $22.00. With entry fees this low, anybody can play in MicroMillions 5!

But while the buy-ins may be cheap, keep in mind that the prizes are definitely significant. In fact, Belarusian poker player ‘Ges26’ has made a fortune through this tourney series after collecting $140,493 in the first four MicroMillions. Not bad considering that he spent a fraction of that amount on buy-ins.
