partypoker Ups the Ante as MILLIONS Online Approaches
Online poker’s biggest-ever single tournament, the $20 million guaranteed MILLIONS Online, takes place at partypoker from Nov. 29 and partypoker has upped the ante in terms of the satellites and promotions being offered for this historical event.
The MILLIONS Online is set to pay its champion a cool $2.5 million in cash, but this prize could be doubled to an astonishing $5 million thanks to the MILLIONS Online Sit & Go Jackpot promotion. Players have until Nov. 4 to get involved in the Sit & Go Jackpot $2.5 million Booster promotion, which revolves around Sit & Go Jackpot games.
This special edition of partypoker’s Sit & Go Jackpot tournaments costs $10 to enter, is played on three-handed tables, and awards MILLIONS Online tickets worth between $22 and a $5,300 seat to the $20 million guaranteed tournament. If a player wins their $5,300 seat via these Sit & Go Jackpot games and then wins the MILLIONS Online using that ticket, partypoker is going to double the $2.5 million prize to $5 million!
What’s more; if the $2.5 million jackpot isn’t won, partypoker will double the prize of the highest finishing eligible player up to a maximum of $20,000.
For those players who prefer a traditional satellite format, there are the ADDED value MILLIONS Online satellites. These satellites run every day of the week, cost between $0.01 and $530 to enter and have tickets and seats added to the prize pool on top of any prize money accumulated.
