PokerStars have held another monster after the $22 buy-in MicroMillions Main Event attracted a $1.7m prize pool, and the acclaimed DJ and producer Zedd will play a 90-minute set at the PokerStars Championship Barcelona Player’s Party.

For 13 years, the PokerStars’ MicroMillions tournament has given people like me a reason to believe that I’m capable of winning some life changing cash, and showing my partner that it really is worth allowing me a few hours on a Sunday to play some online poker.

It’s worth remembering that it took PokerStars 13-years of patient storytelling to create a $22 buy-in event that can pull in over $1.7m in prize money, and for the five players who carved out a happy ending, it was worth the wait.

ElCheikhh from the Netherlands, hahahasucker from Canada, korasidas77 from Greece, BIERB4UCH from Germany, and kate_kok$ from Russia settled on a five-way split, with the Grecian walking away with a tad more prize money thanks to a history that has seen him pick up big scores in the Sunday Million and Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP).
