CoinPoker has officially launched its online satellite schedule for the highly anticipated $1 million guaranteed CoinMillion event, kicking off the Battle of Malta Online Series.
TL;DR
CoinPoker began offering satellite tournaments into the first event of the Battle of Malta online series, the $215 CoinMillion, on July 3.
The virtual felt is heating up as CoinPoker has rolled out its online satellite schedule for the Battle of Malta Online Series, offering players an immediate pathway to the coveted $1 million guaranteed CoinMillion event. While the main series doesn't officially commence until July 12, hopefuls can begin their qualification journey today, July 3, directly within the CoinPoker app.
This early qualification window is designed to grant access to the $215 buy-in CoinMillion tournament, promising to award no fewer than 1,024 seats before the series even formally begins. The satellite structure is ingeniously tiered, featuring a four-step system that makes entry accessible to all bankrolls.
Players can jump into the action at the very first tier, Step 4, completely free of charge. These freeroll tournaments run three times daily, providing ample opportunity to secure a spot in Step 3. From there, Step 3 buy-ins range from a mere $0.10 to $0.50, keeping the barrier to entry remarkably low.
Advancing further, Step 2 tournaments carry buy-ins between $0.55 and $4.40. Success in these events propels players to the final qualifying stage: Step 1. These direct satellites range from $5.50 to $44 and are available up to nine times a day, ensuring frequent chances to lock in a seat. A special $25 Step 1 event on July 12 further sweetens the pot, guaranteeing an impressive 100 seats to the target tournament on the opening day of the series.
The CoinMillion is slated to be the headline event that kicks off the broader Battle of Malta Online Series. Day 1 of this massive tournament is scheduled for July 12, with all surviving players reconvening on July 13 for Day 2. Competitors will start with a generous 100,000 chips and benefit from unlimited re-entries through Level 16. The tournament boasts a player-friendly structure, including bubble protection, final table blind rollbacks, and options for deal-making.
The precedent for the CoinMillion's success is well-established. The previous iteration of the event attracted a robust field of 4,278 entries, culminating in a substantial $126,500 payday for the first-place finisher. Beyond the significant cash prize, the victor also receives a prestigious physical Battle of Malta trophy, adding a tangible element to their online triumph. The series has already garnered high praise, with online poker prodigy Ben ‘Bencb’ Rolle describing the value as "value you cannot miss" after reviewing the schedule on social media.
The entire Battle of Malta Online Series is an expansive affair, guaranteeing a colossal $30 million across 23 days of intense poker action, concluding on August 3. Highlights include the $565 Main Event, which alone carries a $2.5 million guarantee. This is complemented by the Main Challenger and Main Crusader events, pushing the combined Main Event guarantees to a staggering $3.1 million. High-stakes enthusiasts will find their thrill in tournaments like the $1,500 CoinMasters BTC, featuring a $1 million guarantee, and two separate $5,200 buy-in events.
CoinPoker is set to distribute 77 physical trophies throughout the series, recognizing outstanding performances across various events. Furthermore, 100 live packages, each valued at $2,500, are up for grabs, offering winners a chance to experience the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition in person. The series will culminate in a grand finale weekend, which alone guarantees an astounding $10 million across 120 events, promising an unforgettable conclusion to this monumental online poker festival.
