One of the most popular online poker series returns this month on PokerStars. And it turns out to be a very good time for MicroMillions, the low buy-in tournament series that welcomes players of all bankrolls.

As much of the world returns to some form of lockdown status due to a resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic, poker players may be looking for some excitement online this month. And with the global economy suffering as a trickle-down effect of the pandemic, many players will welcome the low buy-ins.

Earlier this year, PokerStars hosted a MicroMillions series with 100 tournaments and $2.6 million in prize pool guarantees. At this time last year, MicroMillions offered 147 tournaments and $4.3 million in guarantees.

Now, in what appears to be the 18th iteration of MicroMillions, the series will offer 117 tournaments and more than $3.5 million guaranteed.

MicroMillions 18 Details

The series is set to begin on Thursday, November 19. Over the 11 days of this MicroMillions, players will be able to choose from 21 different poker variations. While the majority of events will be some form of Hold’em, there will also be several Omaha events as well as Stud, Triple Draw, 6+, Badugi, Razz, 8-Game, and some old PokerStars signature games like Fusion and Showtime.

Buy-ins will begin at just $1.10 and top off at $11 with the sole exception of the Main Event and its $22 buy-in. But that Main Event also boasts of a $1 million guarantee.

Satellites will run for just pennies on the dollar, and special edition Spin & Go opportunities will begin at just $0.35.

The entire series will guarantee at least $3.5 million. And five tournaments boast of guarantees of $100K or more.
