Recap

The microMILLION$ series began this past Sunday and it was WILD! The first event, the $8.88 Sunday Asia Kick-Off had over 4,000 entrants and more than doubled the guarantee. One hour later, the $2.50 Sunday Monster Stack started and doubled the number of entrants from the first tournament. The first Bounty event of the schedule, $10.50 Bounty Hunters Sunday Special, again destroyed the guarantee with over 8,000 players registering to participate. The biggest event of the day, the $11 Sunday Super Storm, had a $101,000 guarantee. With almost 10,000 players needed to meet the guarantee, you can be assured that someone was worried. However, the amazing community at GGPoker came together and the tournament played with 15,000 participants. Fifteen Thousand players made it to the first of 3 Sunday Super Storm microMILLION$ tournaments creating a prize pool of $151,800! It took just over 10 hours to play through and at the end ‘dalek’ was crowned champion after a 7-way split of the prize pool.

Throughout the day, the guarantees were laughed at as the GGPoker community took to the fields like fish to water. At the end, the first day of the microMILLION$ tournament series, where the biggest buy-in of the day was just $11, paid out $684,767.03 to the winners. So congratulations to all of you who finished in the money, and to everyone who participated, a sincere thank you for once again showing the world that GGPoker is the best place for online poker. We look forward to hosting the rest of this series as we prove to the world that bigger IS better, even when it is micro!
