Poker Mix Max
MILLIONS UK will enjoy a unique curtain-raiser on Friday with the $100,000 guaranteed partypoker LIVE Mix Max.
The fun-filled tournament will have a $200 buy-in with no registration fee, with players only being able to enter using partypoker LIVE’s brilliant new currency, PP LIVE Dollars.
Mix Max: blend the formats! Start your tournament at full ring tables (8 players) then go short-handed after 9 levels (6 players per table) and 10 levels later, finish the tournament with real action with 4 players per table! MIX MAX tournaments are played with 20,000 chip starting stacks. Premium hands (pocket Aces, Kings, Queens, or Jacks, or A-K or A-Q) occur only 2.1% of the time (56 possible combinations out of 2,652 total combinations). For six-max, one of these hands will show.
- As an example, the average 6-max poker player does not 3bet as much as is recommended. A good 6-max regular will typically have a 3bet frequency of around 7-10%. The average 6-max poker player at lower limit games is likely to 3bet closer to 4% of hands.
- The Mix Max will kick off at 19:00 on Friday night, with late registration open to 22:30. With a clock of just 15 minutes and a 1,000,000 starting stack, the action will be fast and furious from the off.
Excitingly, twenty players with ‘bounties’ have been added to the Mix Max by partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn, and being the first to knock out one of the bounties will earn players a £1,100 MILLIONS Open seat.
Players with bounties on their head will include Dusk Till Dawn owner Rob Yong, MILLIONS UK defending champion Maria Lampropoulos, and Team partypoker’s Ludovic Geilich, Natalia Breviglieri and Anatoly Filatov. Bounty players will be identified by a MILLIONS Open ticket in front of them.
