The Millionaire Maker is Here
Today is the day where the one and only Event #21: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em MILLIONAIRE MAKER starts.
Pablo Mariz won the tournament last year, beating the second-biggest MILLIONAIRE MAKER field since the implementation of the tournament. He won the tournament with 7,761 entries after beating Dejuante Alexander heads-up, winning over 1.2 million dollars. Jonathan Dimmig won the tournament in its first year, 2014, collecting $1,319,587 after topping a field of 7,977 players.
The tournament features two starting days, both with one-hour levels. Players are allowed one reentry per flight. Everyone receives 7,500 in chips when signing up with late registration open for eight levels (around 8:10 p.m.).
Players could be in for a long day with play continuing until there's 15% of the field remaining. There will be 20-minute breaks after every two levels and a dinner break of 75 minutes after the sixth level, which should be at approximately 4:40 p.m.
The tournament kicks off at 10 a.m. and PokerNews will be there to cover the tournament from start to finish.
