- Seven tournaments, one of which is a PKO, are dubbed “Slug Blinds.”
- Alternating Blinds, is on the schedule five times, three of which are PKO.
- It also overlaps with Unibet’s Online Series X, which stretches into mid-December, and GGPoker’s Battle of Malta.
PokerStars has released the full schedule for the second MicroMillions of the year, with $3.5 million guaranteed across more than 110 micro-stakes tournament series.
The series kicks off on November 19 and runs for ten days. Much of the schedule is the same as seen in previous editions, with buy-ins starting at $1.10 and most costing $5 or less to enter. There is the usual broad mix of tournament formats and game types.
There are around a dozen $11 tournaments, slightly more than the norm. As is tradition, the series culminates in a $22 Main Event with $1 million guaranteed.
However, MicroMillions is often used by PokerStars to try out new tournament formats, and this series is no exception: there is the new Slug Blinds, where players start with 100 big blinds and there is only one blind increment in the first hour; and Alternating Blinds, which switches between small and large blinds as the tournament progresses.
