MicroMillions are returning to PokerStars in August! Total prize pool exceeds $2 million.

MicroMillions will return to PokerStars from August 16th to 31st with 139 events and a total prize pool exceeding $2 million. The Main Event guarantees $250,000 with a buy-in of only $22.

If you're a low-stakes poker tournament grinder, be sure to clear your schedule between August 16th and 31st, as the MicroMillions return to PokerStars during this period. Over the two weeks, players will compete in 139 events for a prize pool exceeding $2 million, with buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $22.

The 2026 MicroMillions will begin at the end of the WCOOP Boot Camp and end on September 6, one week before the start of the 2026 World Series of Online Poker (WCOOP).

This presents a fantastic opportunity for players looking to increase their funds to participate in WCOOP events, or to try out new formats, variations, and strategies to prepare for the challenge of WCOOP glory.

In 2026, several MicroMillions events will guarantee prize pools far exceeding their buy-in levels.

For example, on August 16th, players can compete for a guaranteed prize pool of $75,000 in the $11 Sunday Storm and $22 High Roller events. These two events will be held again on August 23rd, followed by the PKO Main Event starting on August 30th, which guarantees $250,000 but requires a buy-in of only $22.

Last year, the MicroMillions Main Event attracted 20,600 entries. Brazilian player "pretinhouva" emerged as the winner, taking home $25,911 in prize money (including bounty).

Another Brazilian player, "vinivarella22", won the 2024 MicroMillions Main Event and, after a three-way agreement to split the prize money, transformed his investment of $22 into a substantial prize of $28,319.

Will 2026 see another Brazilian MicroMillions Main Event champion? Or will you prevent the South American star from achieving an amazing three-peat?
