MILLIONS North America: The Official Schedule
The marquee event of the year, MILLIONS North America, is nearly upon us! The series runs from May 13 to May 26 and hosts ten events, putting over $8,000,000 in value up for grabs. MILLIONS brings three tournaments with seven-figure prize pool guarantees: the Montreal Open, the MILLIONS North America, and the High Roller. These tournaments are complemented by seven side events and lots of satellites to provide options for players of all bankrolls. This year’s Main Event offers a $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and presents some important differences from previous editions. First, the tournament structure has been revised: there are now only two starting flights, which follow a next-day re-entry format. This means that players can fire, at most, two bullets at this premier event – 1 for each Day 1. Second, the buy-in has been increased to $10,300. We have introduced a series …Read More

There were two callers: Stephane S (utg+1) and Ryan W (cutoff). The dealer laid out the flop. Flop: Shawn led out for $20 and both of the other players made the call. …Read More
