PokerStars is rewarding its players for their incredible support of the MicroMillions series by adding a combined $179,000 to the guarantees of more than 20 events. The bolstered prize pools mean the MicroMillions now tip the scales in excess of $4.5 million.
The first of the increased guaranteed tournament took place on July 24 and 25, but there are still more than a dozen boosted events for you to get your teeth into. Two, in particular, stand out from the crowd.
MicroMillions #133 shuffles up and deals at 6:05 p.m. BST on July 26 and is an $11 buy-in 8-max progressive knockout event. The original guarantee weighs in at $50,000 but it has been increased by 50% to an impressive $75,000.
A similar tournament at 6:05 p.m. BST on July 28 has received similar treatment. MicroMillions #160 is also an $11 buy-in 8-max PKO where the guarantee is now $75,000 instead of $50,000.
