MILLIONS Online has returned to partypoker and brought with it a cool $5 million in combined guaranteed prize pools. Running from September 5 through to October 1, the latest installment of the partypoker MILLIONS Online features ten numbered events and dozens upon dozens of side events for you to get your teeth into.
The ten numbered events are multi-day tournaments where you can enter as many Day 1s as your bankroll and time allows, but only your largest stack progresses to Day 2 should you make it through more than one flight.
Each numbered event has a high-stakes edition and a cut-price "mini" version, although those mini tournaments also boast juicy guarantees.
$500,000 is the largest single guarantee on the partypoker MILLIONS Online schedule, the sum dedicated to the series' Main Event. The MILLIONS Online Main Event commands a $530 buy-in, has six flights, and is played to an exciting mystery bounty format, with one mystery bounty payment guaranteed to weigh in at $50,000.
The remaining Main Event flights run each Sunday from September 15-29, with two more scheduled for September 30. Day 2 kicks off on September 3 with the plan to play 18 levels, each spanning 20 minutes. Surviving players return to conclude the tournament on October 1.
When MILLIONS Online ran in June, the $500,000 guaranteed PKO Main Event drew in 1,112 entrants. Adrien Delmas came out on top, turning his $530 buy-in into an impressive $76,412, including bounties.

The $162 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Opener PKO and $11 buy-in, $25,000 guaranteed Mini Opener PKO crowned their champions on September 9, but the other numbered events still have flights available.
Germany's Thomas Kandlbinder came out on top of the $162 buy-in edition. He outlasted 730 opponents as he collected $15,414 of the $109,650 prize pool. Kandlbinder eliminated 12 opponents, which resulted in $7,985 worth of bounties added to his $7,429 payout.
