Playground Poker 7 Year Anniversary

Are you ready for the Millions?

- by

Tonight at 8pm will be held the first live opportunity to play towards the $5,300 Million North America Main Event. You can 2-step your way to next April’s Main Event for $110 + $10, and your first step is tonight. Win your seat for tomorrow night’s Step 2 Satty, where you will play for a $5,300 seat.

There will be more occasions to do so, but perhaps none will feature 20 ADDED SEATS, which is what you are looking at tonight! The satellite tournament starts at 8pm, and so far, 6 players have registered. The value could be enormous!

Nothing planned for the night? Step Forward!
