    This afternoon at Playground, players will find a great way to participate in Event #2 of the MILLIONS North America, the $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open, at a substantial discount- if they play their cards right. Playground is offering another $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite that guarantees at least five seats to the Montreal Open. This satellite kicked off at noon and, thanks to the strong early turnout, is likely to surpass the five-seat guarantee. Late registration (and unlimited re-entries) will be available until 1:45pm.

    For anyone who misses out on this afternoon’s satellite, there will be a $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite tonight at 8:00pm that boasts a massive 15 seat guarantee! Earlier satellites proved to be very popular, as 42 players have already won their seats, and they will be joined by many more after today’s satellites.

    The first starting flight of the Montreal Open starts tomorrow at noon so don’t miss your chance to qualify!

    10 Lucky winners are off to the Montreal Open

    May 15, 2019May 15, 2019 | 1:28am | Playground

    The MILLIONS North America $150 + $15 Montreal Open Satellite Turbo Re-entry has just come to a close. In total, 62 entries were logged, including 5 re-entries. With ten seats guaranteed, the odds were great for the players.

    With eleven players left, and ten seats to be awarded, the tournament clock was stopped and entered the hand-for-hand mode. In the end it only took a few hands to put an end to it all.

    In the last hand of play, Pierre Marquette shoved all-in for approximately 11,000 chips. This didn’t look big, but there was at least 75,000 in the pot too. Winning this hand would change everything for him. Nicolas Majdalani wasted no time making the call and both men tabled their hands:
    Pierre: 8 of Clubs 10 of Clubs
    Nicolas: Ace of Spades 10 of Spades
    The flop was all Nicolas needed: Jack of Clubs Queen of Hearts King of Hearts ; he flopped a straight. At this point only an ace or runner-runner clubs could save Pierre, but it was not to be. An 8 of Hearts came on the turn, and a 5 of Diamonds on the river sealed his fate.

    So Pierre Marquette is eliminated in 11th position on the bubble, leaving 10 happy players behind. If you didn’t make it down tonight to get into the satellite action, don’t worry. There are five more satellites before the target event:

    1. Wednesday May 15, at 8:00PM- 10 Seats Guaranteed
    2. Thursday May 16, at 12:00PM – 5 Seats Guaranteed
    3. Thursday May 16, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed
    4. Friday May 17, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed
    5. Saturday May 18, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed

    Congratulations to tonight’s ten winners of a seat for the Montreal Open, which gets underway Friday, May 17th, at 12:00pm.  Get the complete schedule here.

    $150 + $15 Montreal Open Satellite Turbo re-entry starts soon

    May 14, 2019May 15, 2019 | 7:38pm | Playground

    The MILLIONS North America is hosting another $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite for the Montreal Open tonight. Set to start at 8:00pm, this satellite guarantees at least 10 x $1,100 seats to the Montreal Open. Late registration (and unlimited re-entries) will be available until the beginning of the seventh level of play at 9:45pm.

    Players start with 15,000 chips and may purchase an optional $5 add-on for an additional 5,000 chips. The blinds start at 50/100 and increase every 15 minutes. If you can’t make it down tonight, there are five more satellites before the start of the Montreal Open to give everyone a chance to fire a bullet (or more), and try their hands at gaining access to the Open for a fraction of the buy-in:

    Wednesday May 15, at 8:00PM- 10 Seats Guaranteed
    Thursday May 16, at 12:00PM – 5 Seats Guaranteed
    Thursday May 16, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed
    Friday May 17, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed
    Saturday May 18, at 8:00PM – 15 Seats Guaranteed

    The $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open begins on Friday, May 17 at 12:00pm, and the satellite fields will only get larger as we approach the event. Guaranteeing at least $1,154,500 in prizes, the Montreal Open is one of three MILLIONS events with a 7-figure guaranteed prize pool.

    The full roster of satellites guarantees that at least 85 players will advance, but the early turnouts during the first three satellites set a pace that is well ahead of the guaranteed amount. Players should know that these satellites are not transferable, the target event must be played:

    Event #2: $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open – *$1,154,500 Guaranteed
    Day 1A: Friday May 17, at 12:00pm

    *The Montreal Open guarantee of $1,154,500 represents $1,000,000 in cash plus 15 x $10,300 seats to the Main Event!

    Things get under way in 30 minutes so there is no time like the present to player’s to try their hand for a seat!

    Congratulations to the latest Montreal Open qualifiers!

    This afternoon’s $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite for the Montreal Open brought out another large field. By the time the late registration and re-entry period ended, this satellite had 49 entries, enough to surpass the five-seat guarantee. In all, six players advanced to the Montreal Open, and a seventh earned a respectable cash of $750 for their efforts.

    For those who missed their chance this afternoon, there is another $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite running this evening at 8:00pm, but there are even more reasons to play tonight’s satellite because it boasts a massive ten seat guarantee!

    Based on the popularity of these early satellites, there should be another strong turnout of players eager to play their way in to the Montreal Open and fight for a part of its seven-figure prize pool. After tonight, there will be five more satellites to the $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open, which begins on Friday, May 17 at 12:00pm. Click here for the full event schedule.

    More Montreal Open satellites on tap

    May 14, 2019 | 12:00pm | Playground

    The MILLIONS North America will continue to pick up speed this afternoon, with another $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite for the Montreal Open. Today’s satellite kicks off at noon and guarantees at least five seats to the Montreal Open. Late registration (and unlimited re-entries) will be available until the beginning of the seventh level of play at 1:45pm.

    This afternoon’s flight will be followed by another $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite this evening at 8:00pm that guarantees at least 10 seats. The full roster of satellites guarantees at least 85 players will advance, but yesterday’s large turnout let the early satellites set a pace that is well ahead of the guaranteed amount.

    Players came out in droves yesterday, allowing a total of 14 players to advance between the two satellites. The target event, the $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open begins on Friday, May 17 at 12:00pm, and the satellite fields will only get larger as we approach the event. Guaranteeing at least $1,154,500 in prizes, the Montreal Open is one of three MILLIONS events with a 7-figure guaranteed prize pool. The guarantee represents $1,000,000 in cash and 15 $10,000 + $300 seats to the Main Event!

    Players are already beginning to make their way into the tournament hall- it’s shaping up to be another huge satellite field! Good luck to all!

     

    Congratulations to the first Montreal Open satellite winners!

    May 13, 2019 | 6:27pm | Playground

    This afternoon’s $150 + $15 turbo re-entry satellite for Event #2, the $1,000 + $100 Montreal Open, brought out a large field, large enough to nearly double the guarantee! In the end, nine players won their seats to the Open, putting them in position to get a piece of a seven-figure prize pool at a fraction of the buy-in cost.

    This week will be filled with affordable satellites for the Montreal Open, with another on tap for tonight at 8:00pm, as well as seven others in the coming days. Day 1A of the Montreal Open starts on Saturday, May 17 and will be followed by six more starting flights so there is sure to be a huge field vying for the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool AND the 15 added $10,000 + $300 Main Event seats.
