Great news for low-stakes players: this weekend, MicroMillions on PokerStars is returning for its 18th installment. Between Nov. 19-29, there’s going to be $3.5 million guaranteed with buy-ins ranging from bankroll friendly $1.10 up to $22 for the $1 million guaranteed MicroMillions Main Event.

MicroMillions has been growing year after year and has been one of the most fun series for players looking to play different types of games at an affordable price point. This time, there are more than 100 events, making MicroMillions bigger than ever and firmly cementing this as the event for micro-stakes bankrolls.

The highlight will be the $22 MicroMillions 111 [Main Event] with a whopping $1 million guarantee on the final day, Sunday, Nov. 29.

Four other events sport six-figure guarantees, and guarantees in the mid-five-figures are sprinkled throughout the schedule as well, so there will be several opportunities to win considerable money for a low price.

Special Tournaments

There are some new special events available on the schedule for those wanting a little bit more fun. “Slug Blinds” is a unique new tournament where players start with 100 big blinds and the first two levels are 40 and 20 mins long, respectively, allowing plenty of deep-stacked fun. After that, the blind levels revert to a normal turbo of six minutes.

Players will have to base their strategies off of registration time because with almost two hours of late reg, they can choose whether to play deep and slow, or shallow and fast.

Another interesting tournament special is “Alternating Blinds” where there are two blinds structures, small and large. At the end of the small level blinds escalate 10-times to the large blind level which lasts a fast and frantic three minutes before falling back down to the small level for a longer period.

Showtime Hold’em will be making a special comeback with three tournaments scheduled. In this variation of no-limit hold’em, you fold your cards face-up. That’s right, the rest of the table gets to see what you folded. This adds an extra level to the game.

Popular streamer GJReggie is a MicroMillions enthusiast:

“I've always loved MicroMillions! It was the first series I ever truly got stuck into, I've had some decent results and it's always a lot of fun especially because I stream it all. I think the streaming aspect really makes the series because it almost feels like I'm playing one massive home game; so many community members get involved in the series, there’s always someone running deep and its super exciting to see stream friends doing well.”
