PokerStars’ largest low-stakes tournament series heads back to the site beginning on Sunday. The MicroMillions festival runs July 17-31 for players of all levels with buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $55 for the high roller event.

The series awards more than $4 million across 208 events with the $22 Main Event set for the final day of action. That tournament offers players a $500,000 guarantee.

Highlights from PokerStars’ MicroMillions

Beyond the Main Event, some other key events highlight the series. Players can look for two Sunday Specials. These eight-max progressive knockout events are scheduled for July 17 and 24. Both tournaments feature an $11 buy-in with $100,000 guarantees.

In addition, two Wednesday Specials are set for July 20 and 27, with $11 buy-ins and $100,000 guarantees. For those with larger bankrolls, the $55 High Roller plays out on July 31 with $500,000 guaranteed.

In total, PokerStars is running at least 12 MicroMillions tournaments each day. Players will find 27 tournaments at the $1.10 price point and 69 tournaments with a $3.30 buy-in.

There are also 95 events priced at $5.50 and 15 at just $11, including the Pot Limit Omaha Main Event. The series also includes one event at $22 and one at $55.

Players will find numerous poker variants and tournament types including No Limit Hold’em, Stud, Draw, mixed games, and more.

Those looking for some extras are also in luck during the series. PokerStars will add seats via satellites for the Main Event, giving away up to $20,000 in added value. To find these, simply search for “added” to find these special satellites in the client software. Here’s a look at the complete MicroMillions schedule

PokerStars MicroMillions Brings Big Bang for Micro Bucks

Players have a shot at big bucks for small buy-ins in the PokerStars MicroMillions.

It’s certainly a good time to be a low roller. In November PokerStars is catering to this segment of poker players with the MicroMillions low-stakes tournament series.

MicroMillions XXVI runs from Nov. 10-24 and while the buy-ins may be small, the series promises plenty of big payouts. The 147-event series features tournament guarantees totaling $4.3 million – nice haul for some low price points.

Across the series, the great majority of buy-ins are in the range of $1.10 to $5.50 – perfect for recreational players on a low roller budget. And just because the buy-ins are low doesn’t mean some handsome rewards await winners.

PokerStars debuts Phase tournament event with $500,000 guarantee

Along with big paydays, the series will debut PokerStars’ new Phase Event featuring a $4.40 buy-in and $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Phase 1 online poker events have already begun and are running daily.

Players can jump in as many Phase 1 events as they like until they finish with chips and reach Phase 2. Nov. 24 is the deadline to reach Phase 2, where players will then officially be in the money.

Phase 2 offers a chance at some nice money for those with determination. Players can continue to battle it out in Phase 1 for a shot at even nice cash the further they advance in the second stage.

A look at some highlights from the MicroMillions schedule

MicroMillions offers a fun shot at some major money for a reasonable buy-in. There are just a few events with buy-ins larger than $5.50, but even those are manageable.  

The $11 buy-in Sunday Storm on Nov. 17 features a $250,000 guarantee. The entire series is wrapped up on Nov. 24 with the $22 Main Event – featuring a cool $1 million guarantee.

The MicroMillions offers a chance at some life-changing money for less than a night out at the pub or sports bar. Some of the highlights and promotions on the schedule include:

  • $0.35 Spin and Go’s – These are running until Nov. 24 and award MicroMillions tournament tickets or cash prizes.
  • $10,000 Freeroll – This event is set for Nov. 18 and will be awarding numerous MicroMillions tickets. To qualify, players simply must play in 10 MicroMillions events and one Phase Event from Nov. 10-17.
  • Second Chance freerolls – Get back in the game with these events, which run Nov. 18-24. Any player eliminated from a MicroMillions event after Nov. 17 receives automatic entry into an all-in shootout the following day. The freerolls will award $2,000 worth of MicroMillions tickets.
  • MicroMillions leaderboards – Players can win a share of $5,000 in extra prizes depending on where they stand on the leaderboards. Points are awarded based on how players finish in MicroMillions events.

PokerStars goes all in on Twitch streaming for MicroMillions

In recent days, PokerStars has made plenty of news in the poker world. The company launched in Pennsylvania in the US and has also outlined its plans for Twitch users and viewers.
