As part of the Playground Poker Anniversary series, the first Phase 1 of the partypoker Million has just begun, officially kicking off this massive $5,000,000 guaranteed tournament hosted at Playground Poker Club and on partypoker.net. So far over 120 players have taken their seats today, with late registration open through until 3:15pm. This $500 + $50 Phase 1 is a single re-entry.
Players will begin this “Day 0.5” with T100K in chips, and will play through until only 10% of the field remains. Their final chip count to end the day will then be carried over to Day 1 of the partypoker Million, which will take place in early May (official dates will be announced soon). A whole program of additional Phase 1 tournaments will take place online and live between now and then, giving players multiple opportunities to qualify for the partypoker Million (the schedule for future Phase 1 tournaments will also be released shortly).
Players will also have the option to directly buy-in to a Day 1 of the event for $5,300, where they will receive a starting stack of 1 million chips (200 big blinds), which represents the average stack to start the flight. With two Day 1s scheduled online, and two live here at Playground Poker Club, there will be ample opportunities for players to take a shot at this massive prize-pool, which guarantees at least $1 million for the tournament champion. Players can qualify up to 1 stack for each starting flight in the partypoker Million, but should they qualify multiple stacks onto Day 2, only the biggest one will be carried forward.
As a bonus, any player who qualifies a stack onto Day 1 through today’s Phase 1 will receive their $550 buy-in back at the end of the day.
Don’t miss your chance at becoming the first millionaire crowned by Playground Poker Club!
See you on the felts.
