Tonight’s Step 1 satellite for the MILLIONS Main Event was overshadowed by the hugely popular 50/50 Bounty, however, five players advanced on their journey towards the MILLIONS Main Event.
The Step 1 satellite drew a total of 24 entries, leaving the prize pool just shy of the numbers needed to surpass the guarantee, but the players in the field were happy to get some added value for their trouble.
The next Step 1 satellite takes place this Thursday, March 29 at 8:00pm
One of the highlights of the March Power Weekend are the MILLIONS Satellites – so far, there have been 2 well-attended Step 1 Satellites and a Step 2 Satellite that awarded 11 seats into the MILLIONS Main Event.
The final Step 1 of the March Power Weekend got underway earlier this evening, and with just 45 minutes left to register, it’s shaping up to have a big overlay! With 5 seats guaranteed, the tournament is looking like it’s going to provide unparalleled value!
There’s really no way to lose – because even if you don’t secure a Step 2 seat in tonight’s satellite, there’s always the Second Chance Freeroll!
With late registration and the re-entry period having just come to a close, the MILLIONS Main Event Step 2 Satellite has attracted 87 entries, meaning that 11 seats in the MILLIONS Main Event (plus a little cash for the 12th place finisher) are set to be awarded tonight.
Players should remember that anyone who plays in Step 2 satellites but never qualifies for a $5,300 MILLIONS Seat will qualify for the Step 2 Second Chance Freeroll.
Here are some photos from the early action:
Tonight’s Step 2 Satellite is about 20 minutes away from starting, and there are already 40 entries set to begin play as the clock begins in level 1 of the tourney. A significant proportion of these are Step 1 qualifiers, and when you add up that value PLUS the 3 seats that will be added to the prize pool tonight, it’s almost unbeatable. With a total of 7 seats – and counting – to be awarded tonight, that means that almost one out of every five players that starts tonight (17.5%, to be precise) will win a $5,300 seat in the MILLIONS Main Event in April!
Action gets underway soon in the Tournament Hall, and tonight will prove to be a decisive next step along the way to securing some of the $10,000,000 in guaranteed prizes in the MILLIONS Main Event! Come on out to Playground and take your shot!
If you are looking for a way to play your way into the biggest tournament of the year then tonight’s Step 2 satellite is for you.
Starting at 7:00pm tonight, the Step 2 satellite offers a 25,000 chip starting stack and permits unlimited re-entries for the first six levels. This player-friendly format provides lots of opportunities to earn your seat for the MILLIONS Main Event – and even more than normal due to the 3 Seat Overlay that will be ADDED to the prize pool. This one is not to be missed!
This afternoon’s MILLIONS $110 + $10 Step 1 NL Hold’em Re-entry satellite easily passed the guarantee and will award 7 MILLIONS Step 2 satellite seats.
A total of 40 entries made it into this Step 1 generating a prize pool that will get seven players through to the next step and pay the eighth place finisher $305.00 for his (or her) trouble.
There is another satellite on the docket tonight with the MILLIONS $530 + $50 NL Hold’em Turbo Re-entry Step 2 Satellite at 7:00pm.
