A total of 3 flights of the King’s Million were held at King’s Resort Rozvadov and King’s Casino Prague on Friday. A total of 1,545 entries were collected, bringing the total number of participations to 2,374. This means that after seven of eleven starting flights, half of the million-euro guarantee has been reached. 233 players were already able to enjoy the €500 min-cash yesterday, and 154 made the leap into Day 2 (Sun, 16:30). Meanwhile, the €1,150 chipleader bonus in the form of King’s Main Event tickets was paid out 3 times to the most diligent chip collectors.
€1,000,000 gtd. King’s Million
The legendary King’s Million, with its namesake €1,000,000 prize pool guarantee, comprises 11 starting days (9 flights 1A to 1I in Rozvadov + 1 flight in Prague + 1 Flip and Go) and a total of 4 playing days. For the buy-in of €250, you receive 40,000 starting chips and 40 minutes of playing time per blind level, 30 in the speed flights. On Days 1A and 1B, there was even the opportunity to play 60-minute levels. There, the starting days, which were separate until Level 8 in Part 1, were then merged in Part 2. For the top 5 of Day 1AB Part 2, there were five chipleader bonus packages of €3,000 each. Otherwise, €1,150 is provided as a chipleader bonus on every other regular playing day. 15% of each flight make it into the money with a €500 min-cash. After that, play continues without further hand-for-hand play down to 10% of the flight participants, who then take their chips into Day 2. On Days 2, 3, and the final day, the blinds are then 60 minutes long. For the top 10 in the final (Tue, 14:00), there will also be a €3,000 package each for the King’s Million European Poker Championship (KM EPC).
