Do Not Miss These Massive MILLIONS Online Satellites

MILLIONS Online has reached the halfway stage right now and has some massive events coming up. The $10,300 High Roller has a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, both the $1,050 partypoker Championship and the $2,100 7-Max PKO Championship come with $1 million guarantees, while the $5,300 MILLIONS Online Main Event will payout at least $5 million.

Obviously, that quartet of events have large buy-ins, as you would expect from such prestigious tournaments. That is not to say they are not accessible to every partypoker player, far from it, because each of those huge tournaments comes with its own phased satellites starting at a single cent!

Phased satellites work in a similar way to a traditional satellite except they do not award tickets until the final phase. Players can buy into any phase their bankroll allows, and they take their chip stacks through with them to the next highest buy-in phase if they make it through. The only exception to this is the phased satellites named “centroll” or “feeder” because they award tickets to the Phase 1 satellites.

Of course, it is possible to buy into the final phase directly, but playing your way into it saves you a substantial sum of money, plus it gives you the chance to sit down with a much larger stack than those firing straight into the final.

Thursday 16 December and Saturday 18 December

At 17:05 GMT on December 16, you can play in the MILLIONS Online #06 7-Max PKO Championship Day 1A Sat: 5x $2,100 Gtd [Phase Final]. Buying into this final phase for $320 grants you a 100,000 starting stack. However, if you check the tournament’s lobby, you will see Shuxrat Salixov has 132,000 chips, while both Pantelis Pavlis (126,000), and Trisha Ladouceur (118,000) have more than the starting stack. This is because they played their way into the final from one of the cheaper phases and took their chips through to the final with them.

For this $1 million guaranteed event, there are $0.01 buy-in centrolls and $1.10 feeders that put you into the $6.60 Phase 1 satellites. Phase 2 is a $66 buy-in affair, with players making it through Phase 2 reaching the $320 buy-in phase final where at least five $2,100 seats will be won.

At the same time on December 18, there is a $320 buy-in phase final for Day 1B of the 7-Max PKO Championship. The formats are exactly the same as they are for the Day 1A satellite, meaning you could win your way in from literally one cent. There are three $2,100 seats guaranteed in the December 18 phase final.

Sunday 19 December

Sunday is traditionally the busiest day of a poker tournament player’s schedule because the biggest events run on the final day of the week. This is especially true on December 19 because a trio of MILLIONS Online Phase Finals take place.

At 16:05 GMT there is a $530 buy-in final phase for the MILLIONS Online #04 Main Event Day 1B Mega Sat where an incredible 30x $5,300 seats will be won. Each of those seats gives you the chance to play for a share of $5 million!

This satellite tree starts with $0.01 centrolls and $3.30 feeders. Phase 1 comes in at $22, Phase 2 costs $109, with the Phase Final costing $530.

partypoker regular Gareth “Gaz the Hippy” Smithwaite recently started at the $0.01 centroll level and eventually bagged himself a $5,300 seat! Perhaps it is your turn to do the same?

Also at 16:05 GMT there is a $109 buy-in final phase for the MILLIONS Online #05 partypoker Championship Day 1B Mega Sat. This has 50x $1,050 seats guaranteed.

Like the other phased satellite, you can begin your quest for glory in $0.01 centrolls, or buy into the $0.55 feeders. If you do not want to start so low, buy into any of the various phases for $4.40 (Phase 1), $22 (Phase 2), or $109 (Phase Final). Good luck wherever you start.

The third and final major satellite on December 19 shuffles up and deals at 17:05 GMT. it is the $1,050 buy-in MILLIONS Online High Roller Satellite: 5x $10,300 Gtd [Phase Final].

Despite the final awarding tickets worth $10,300, you can still attempt to win one from $0.01! There are also $8.80 feeders, $44 Phase 1s, $215 Phase 2s, and $1,050 Phase Finals. Make it through the final and you’ll be playing in the $500,000 guaranteed event at 20:05 GMT.
