MicroMillions returns this month

You don’t need a big bankroll to take advantage of big prize pools in the MicroMillions series, which returns to PokerStars in November.

For instance, 41 tournaments on the schedule cost just $1.10 to play.

The new MicroMillions series starts Sunday 10 November

The guarantees for those alone add up to more than $400K, and each has a structure you’d expect to find in a bigger tournament series, which gives you more time to play.

Chris Moneymaker joins Poker In The Ears

Imagine going from a boring day job to winning a big tournament and becoming a household name, then spending the next 15 years working tirelessly to promote poker.

Imagine ending up in the Poker Hall of Fame after all that hard work, an even worthier reward for the time you’ve poured into the game than the $2.5 million you won playing it.
