The MILLIONS Online Main Event forms part of the partypoker MILLIONS series which launched in Canada earlier this year. Since then, partypoker MILLIONS has made its mark as one of the biggest and most successful poker series ever held, with live events across the globe including North America, Russia and Europe. The eagerly-awaited Caribbean Poker Party takes place in Punta Cana next month. This year\u2019s partypoker MILLIONS champions have included Maria Lampropulos<\/a> who won \u00a31,000,000 after winning partypoker MILLIONS Dusk Till Dawn in the UK and Jean-Pascal Savard who beat a 1,168-entry field to take down partypoker MILLIONS North America for CAD$956,000.<\/p>\n

partypoker Ambassador Joao Simao<\/a> said: \u201cI\u2019ve competed at just about all of the MILLIONS events so far and I\u2019m really looking forward to partypoker MILLIONS making its online debut. It\u2019s a huge guarantee which is certain to capture players\u2019 imaginations. I know that lots of players who have enjoyed taking part in the MILLIONS live events are going to leap at the chance to play the Online version, but it\u2019s also going to be great for first-timers. It will give them a taste of the excitement of competing at a partypoker MILLIONS event and, hopefully, encourage them to try qualifying for the live versions as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Group Head of partypoker Tom Waters said: \u201cBringing the MILLIONS series online is a very exciting step. It\u2019s not often that players have the opportunity to play for $1,000,000 up top and they can do so from just $1.10 via our online satellites. The MILLIONS formula \u2013 which combines giant guarantees with countless to qualify \u2013 has already proved a massive hit for live events so we\u2019re really looking forward to seeing it play out online as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
