Low-stakes festival returns this July
The WSOP is in full swing and, like millions of poker fans the world over, you’ve probably spent the last week or so wishing you could get in on the Vegas action. But unless you find $10k round the back of the sofa, PokerStars has got the next best thing this July with the return of MicroMillions – a 12-day poker festival aimed at the game’s low-stakes grinders.
This is the second year PokerStars has rolled out the red carpet for those watching the pennies, and the MicroMillions II is ready to kick-off on July 12, with over 100 buy-in events taking place through till July 23.
Buy-ins start from just $0.11 and the festival will bow out with a bumper two-day $22 Main Event on July 22, where the first prize could exceed a staggering $150,000!
The dates are still not written in stone, but see below for the provisional MicroMilliions II schedule:
