There have been many rags-to-riches stories in poker. The biggest of them all is one that everyone in poker knows all too well, and that’s the tale of Chris Moneymaker turning an online satellite into $2.5 million and a gold bracelet when he took down the 2003 World Series of Poker main event. But you too can write your name in poker’s history books. PokerGO is keeping the ultimate dream alive with the first-ever Stairway To Millions event coming up in January 2022.
PokerGO’s inaugural Stairway to Millions takes place at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from Jan. 12-20, 2022. The eight-event series features $3 million in prize pool guarantees and offers players the opportunity of a lifetime to turn a modest $1,000 buy-in into a massive $100,000 tournament entry and the chance to compete for a $1 million prize. The Stairway to Millions has eight different buy-in levels, starting at $1,000 and going up to the direct buy-in of $100,000. In each event level prior to the $100,000 finale, players who finish in the money will automatically qualify for the next event level. The next level’s buy-in will be automatically deducted from a player’s payout.
Unlike a standard satellite tournament, each event level is a two-day event that plays down to a winner. After securing the seats into the next tournament, the rest of the prize pool is paid out accordingly.
The conclusion of each event level will be showcased to viewers around the world via the PokerGO.com platform.
Players can directly buy into any of the eight scheduled Stairway to Millions events for a chance to ladder up to the next level. Each event boasts a prize pool guarantee, with the guaranteed prize amounts growing as the series goes on. The first three event levels feature $100,000 guaranteed prize pools. The $100,000 buy-in finale has a whopping $1.2 million prize pool guarantee.
The first three events will also share similar structures with 30-minute blind levels. Events 4-7 will have 40-minute blind levels, and the event 8 finale will have 60-minute blind levels. The final four events […]
