Welcome to the Caribbean Poker Party $5,300 MILLIONS Finale
Although most of the 2017 Caribbean Poker Party Festival presented by partypoker LIVE is in the books, the $5,300 Main Event is well underway in the stunning seaside town of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and last event of the series, the MILLIONS Finale, kicks off at noon local time. Players will begin with 1,000,000 starting chips and $1,000,000 is guaranteed.
There is one more scheduled starting flight following this one and it is slated to begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Play on Day 1 will consist of eight levels; the noon flight will have 60-minute levels and the evening flights will have 30-minute levels. Late entry and re-entry are available through the end of level 12. All surviving players will combine for Day 2 on Friday and the eventual winner will be determined on Day 3.
It is noteworthy that the structure for each event in this tournament series utilizes button antes. Instead of each player at the table posting an ante every hand, the button posts the only ante at the table. From level 2 onward, the button ante is equal to the big blind. Blinds start at 2,500/5,000 with a 2,500-chip button ante.
