About the Stairway To Millions
The brand new PokerGO Stairway To Millions is every poker player’s ticket to competing in a $100,000 buy-in event for millions of dollars in prize money. The unique format gives players the chance to buy in for $1,100 and run it up the highest of stakes and a chance to compete on the greatest stage in the game at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.
The Stairway To Millions is a series of eight individual poker tournaments. Players who reach the money for a certain tournament will automatically win entry into the next tournament. For example, players who play the first tournament that has a $1,100 buy-in and cash will receive an automatic entry into the $2,150 event in addition to any prize money won from the $1,100 tournament. In order to continue to progress up the ladder of events, players just need to finish in the money of a certain tournament. The next tournament’s buy-in amount is automatically deducted from the amount a player cashes for.
The 2022 Stairway To Millions series has a combined $3,000,000 in guarantees. All final tables will be held inside the PokerGO Studio and live streamed.
