Rob Yong gave his two cents on the MILLIONS UK tournament<\/a> which took place two months ago. The partypoker-sponsored tournament was a huge disappointment, after it failed to meet expectations, with a significantly low turnout. <\/p>\nIn his blog post Yong shared nostalgic memories from the original EPT format where players \u2013 a mixture of poker professionals and amateurs \u2013 were only given one shot to the coveted top prize. Yong expressed his dislike for re-entries which he said only benefit large-stake players and those who have \u201cdeep pockets<\/em>\u201d. Famous players usually register at the last minute and they can opt to re-enter multiple times even after being busted multiple times. <\/p>\npartypoker may have taken account of Yong\u2019s comments, leading to a revamped MILLIONS. John Duthie<\/strong>, who leads partypoker LIVE, has already hinted at major changes coming into play next year.<\/p>\nFour MILLIONS Events in 2019<\/h2>\n Four MILLIONS events will be held in 2019. The first one will be MILLIONS South America<\/strong> which will take place at the Copacabana Palace Hotel from March 16-24, 2019. Next up is MILLIONS North America<\/strong> which will be held from May 22-27 at PPC Montreal, followed by MILLIONS Europe<\/strong> at Casino Barcelona from August 10-18, 2019. The fourth one will be the MILLIONS World Bahamas<\/strong> which takes place from November 9-16, 2019.<\/p>\nEach tournament will feature a $10,300 buy-in Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million. The MILLIONS World with a smaller buy-in of $10,300 will replace the Caribbean Poker Party and will become the new Grand Final, offering $10 million in guarantees. The tournament will still take place at the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas. <\/p>\n
The MILLIONS Grand Final in Barcelona as well as the previous $25,000 buy-in MILLIONS World have both been dropped.<\/p>\n
The MILLIONS events will adopt a $10,000 freezeout format, with lots of side events. partypoker<\/a> hopes to bring back the good old days \u2013 no re-entries, no multiple starting days, the last surviving player will win the Main Event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"partypoker is introducing a number of changes to its MILLIONS product for 2019.
