MILLIONS Satellite News

Tonight in the Tournament Hall at Playground is a MILLIONS North America STEP 2 Satellite. With a huge 25 x $1,650 STEP 3 Seat guarantee – worth a whopping $41,375 – any way you slice it, this STEP 2 satellite comes up value!

There are two ways players can join tonight’s STEP 2 satellite. The first method is to have won a seat in a $90 STEP 1 satellite – and 57 players that will start tonight’s STEP 2 took this route into tonight’s STEP 2. Players can also buy in to the satellite directly for just $440 (plus $5 add-on).

Qualifiers for tonight’s STEP 2 satellite have taken their places at the tables as the event gets underway, and they will be joined by new buy-ins throughout the registration period, which is open until 10:30pm.

By the end of tonight’s satellite, 25 (or more) players will have laid claim to seats in tomorrow’s $1,650 STEP 3 satellite, which will award a guaranteed 10 MILLIONS North American seats, worth $10,300 each!

This 3-step satellite tree is designed to give players of all bankrolls a chance at competing at the highest level. Players can choose whatever starting point is most comfortable – $90, $440 (such as tonight), or $1,650 – and make your way to Playground’s most prestigious poker tournament to date!

The MILLIONS North America Satellite STEP 1 has just ended and 10 seats to tomorrow’s STEP 2 have been awarded to the winners. The ten lucky players are one step closer to the ultimate prize: a seat in the MILLIONS North America!

Congratulations to:

• David Rouleau
• Pierre Martel
• Marco Bilodeau

These are “must play” seats, so all the players will come back tomorrow for STEP 2, at 8:00pm.  Tonight’s winners will be joined by the 20 players who qualified Wednesday and Thursday, plus all other STEP 1 winners earlier in the month. Tomorrow, a whopping 25 STEP 3 Seats will be up for grabs – guaranteed! The huge value of these STEP Satellites cannot be ignored.

The next STEP 3 satellite will also be held during this Power Weekend – it’s coming on Sunday February 24 at 7:00pm. STEP 3 satellites are massive – there are 10 MILLIONS North America seats guaranteed!

Play is going strong and intense on the satellite tables. The 16 players are each hoping to grab one of the 10 seats up for grabs.

Registration or re-entry for this satellite is open until 10:30pm.

Here are a few photos of the players.

This edition of the Playground Power Weekend has an additional attraction alongside the terrific events – we’re looking ahead to the MILLIONS North America, coming to Playground in May.

One of the best ways to qualify for the MILLIONS North America is via Playground STEP Satellites. STEPS satellites offer a way for players to make their way to the ultimate target event – MILLIONS North America – starting at just $90! STEP 1 satellites award (must-play) seats in the next STEP 2 satellite, and STEP 2 satellites award (must-play) seats in the next STEP 3 satellite.

The Power Weekend is prime time for STEPS satellites. There have already been two STEP 1s held this weekend, and there’s another one starting tonight at 8:00pm. So far in the February Power Weekend, STEP 1s have represented HUGE poker value – out of 22 entries on Wednesday night, 10 players qualified, and on Thursday night, there were just 13 players competing for the 10 guaranteed STEP 2 seats!

The next STEP 2 Satellite is also being held during this Power Weekend – it runs on Saturday February 23 starting at 8:00pm and there are a massive 25 STEP 3 Seats Guaranteed! The next STEP 2 isn’t until March – so the time to qualify is now!

There is also a STEP 3 satellite during the Power Weekend – it will be on Sunday February 24 at 7:00pm. STEP 3 satellites are massive – there are 10 MILLIONS North America seats Guaranteed!
