partypoker Reveal 2022 MILLIONS Online Schedule with Exclusive NFT Giveaway
By RTR Alex
Partypoker has released the official schedule for their 2022 MILLIONS online poker festival, with a guaranteed $6,000,000 across 15 events.
Despite the yearly tournament missing its 2020 appearance, the partypoker MILLIONS online series has gained traction across the entire poker community since its debut festival in 2017.
This year's tournament will run for the whole month of September. Action will kick off on the 1st with Event #1: #01 Opener PKO with a $1,575 buy-in (250,000 GTD) and culminates with the $2 million guaranteed main event on the 26th.
Poker players across the world will be competing in the notorious festival and with satellites already under way, the entrant field is already stacking up. From there, players can qualify for a variety of MTTs with buy-ins ranging from $109 to $3,200.
Most of the field will be looking to land a main event prize, but other highlights in the schedule include the $109 Super 100 PKO, with $300,000 guaranteed, and the $530 Super 500 PKO, with $500,000 guaranteed. But first, let's take a look at the main event details.$3,200 PartyPoker MILLIONS Online Main Event
The main event comes with a $3,200 buy-in, but many players will be squeezing their way into the line-up from as little as a single cent by competing in satellite events.
The event starts with 1,000,000 chips for each player, while the small and big blinds are set at 2,500/5,000, plus an ante at 625.
After six day 1 flights, the event will whittle down the remaining players to just 9 for the final table which will commence on the 26th. You can watch the main event final table on the partypoker live twitch stream.Main Event Schedule
