Dive Into the MILLIONS Online KO Series at partypoker
For some, May 4th has a special significance as Star Wars Day (as in ‘May the 4th be with you’ …), but as far as real money online poker is concerned it’s the day that sees the beginning of the hotly anticipated MILLIONS Online KO, which partypoker will be hosting until 30th of May.
Featuring 10 progressive knockout numbered events with buy-ins ranging from $55 to $530, this popular series will see over $1.9 million being won once the dust has settled, including a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event. Indeed, fans of online Bounty tournaments are in for a thrilling month, given that the MILLIONS Online KO schedule also features literally dozens of side events!
Proceedings get underway with the aptly named Opener (4-8 May, with six Day 1 Flights!), which boasts a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. This has a buy-in of $162, but we should point out that a comprehensive qualifying set-up affords all players - regardless of the size of their bankroll - multiple opportunities to qualify cheaply for these prestigious big money events (see below). It’s a veritable feast for online poker tournament fans.
Here’s the timetable for the scheduled numbered events:
