The Return of partypoker MILLIONS Online: The Who, What, When and Where!
We've barely even made it to the month of May, and it's already looking like online series bonanza. The latest poker operator to throw their hat into the online poker tournament ring is none other than partypoker!
As of last Thursday, May 9th the partypoker MILLIONS Online has officially kicked off on the online poker giant. The series will be running throughout the entirety of May, culminating only on June 5th, when all the winners will be crowned. Before we forget to mention, this time around, the fan-favorite poker series is coming in hot with a whopping $500K GTD Main Event!
So, let's break down everything we know so far about the buy-ins, the prizes, and of course, the Main Event!
The $500K GTD Main Event
As we just teased above, the MILLIONS Online Main Event is a $500K GTD affair. Of course, this means it comes with a buy-in to match, $530 to be more precise. Same as its previous editions, the tournament will be played as a progressive knockout.
As the grand final of the entire series, the Main Event will take place on June 4th, at 20:05 (UK time). To secure a seat at the most coveted table, players need end up in the top 15% of one of the other tournaments running during the series, the last one of which will be taking place daily until June 4th, at 20:05 (UK time).
A Few Other Highlights
While the Main Event might be the star of the MILLIONS Online show, it's definitely not the only event worthy of mention. There are events running every day, with way more accessible buy-in, going from just $11.
For instance, the poker tournament series kicked things off with the $100,000 GTD Opener PKO and $162 buy-in. The tournament was accompanied by its mini version, the $25,000 GTD Mini Opener PKO, hosting a (much) more accessible buy-in of just $11.
Other notable names, including the the $215 buy-in, $150,000 GTD 6-max Championship and the $33 buy-in, $50,000 GTD Mini 6-Max Championship began yesterday, May 13th.
Additionally, for the first time ever, MILLIONS Online will also be running special side events for just $5.50.

The Satellites Alternative
Some of the buy-ins for MILLIONS Online are a bit on the higher end and it looks like partypoker is well aware. That's why the operator has made its satellites available from as little as $0.01. These infamous cent rolls means that just about anyone could be walking away with that $500K Main Event guarantee.
Other qualifying tournaments also come with accessible buy-in options, ranging from $1.65, $5.50. $11, $16.50, $22, to $33.
While we have no clue where this edition of the MILLIONS Online will take us, you can be sure we'll be following its every step. If you'd like to follow along, keep up with the latest qualifiers, winners, and events on our social media!
