The series will also feature a wide variety of formats like turbos, rebuys, shootouts, $11 Sunday Storm specials, and the recently debuted Zoom Poker tournaments.
Team PokerStars Pro Marcin "Goral" Horecki has won the MicroMillions Player of the Series two of the four times and expressed his excitement at giving it another go. Said Horceki, “MicroMillions is a lot of fun and the range of tournaments and buy-ins is fantastic. The best thing about it is that the fields and prize pools are so big that it’s possible to turn a dollar or two into a five- or six-figure score in just a few hours.”
The fourth MicroMillions festival set a record as the largest online poker tournament series with a total of 1,572,760 individual tournament entries, breaking the MicroMillions III record of 1,308,994. The Main Event of MicroMillions IV was also the biggest in series history, boasting more than 68,000 entries and a prize pool of $1,361,620.
