The Millionaire Maker has been one of the most popular tournaments in the WSOP since its inception in 2013 when Benny Chen won his first and only WSOP bracelet along with a healthy $1.2 million top prize.
After all, what isn't to love about a WSOP event that guarantees at least $1 million for first place for a reasonable $1,500 buy-in.
Jun 28, 2018 Let's use a typical 2018 WSOP $1,500 no-limit hold'em event, such as the Millionaire Maker which starts today, as an example. Players begin with 7,500 starting chips with one-hour levels. I will compare this to a typical home game structure which often starts with 20,000 chips with 20-minute levels. Liberto made WSOP history becoming the first player to make the MILLIONAIRE MAKER final table twice. After finishing 4th in the 2013 edition, taking home more than $400,000, Liberto put on another. Jun 13, 2017 2013 World Series of Poker - Millionaire Maker Breaks Records - Duration: 1:59. CardPlayer 9,947 views. $1,037,451 Up Top In The Monsterstack. The structures for all of the events will be released in April. The 2019 WSOP was massively successful, attracting a total of 187,298 entries to generate an astonishing $293,183,345 in total prize pool. Among the biggest winners was Iranian-German player Hossein Ensan who took down the $10,000 buy-in Main Event for $10,000,000.
OK, a $1,500 buy-in might not be reasonable to everyone but this tournament can be life-changing for someone. Also, remember that most tournaments with $5,000 or even $10,000 buy-ins don't award $1 million.
This is what makes the Millionaire truly special as it isn't just the big-name pros with seemingly unlimited bankroll able to compete for a chance at a payout most players only dream about.
As you are likely aware, the WSOP has moved online this summer with 54 events of its 85 event schedule taking place at GGPoker from July 19 to Sept. 6 including the Millionaire Maker which keeps its $1,500 buy-in and also guarantees a $5 million prize pool and at least a $1 million to the player that finds WSOP gold in this event.
The prize pools during the WSOP at GGPoker have been absolutely massive and guarantees are getting crushed and it wouldn't be surprising if this happens in the Millionaire Maker as well.
You might be thinking, I can't afford $1,500 to buy into one event. Well, join the club!
This doesn't mean you can't play in this great event as there are direct satellites to this event costing $100 with feeder tournaments starting at just $1.
We imagine $1 is certainly something you can afford, so read on to learn more about the Millionaire Maker at WSOP.
About the 2020 Millionaire Maker
The WSOP Event #48: $1,500 Millionaire Maker is a three-day event featuring 15 opening flights. As we already mentioned, the tournament boasts a $5 million guaranteed prize pool and the winner will go home with a massive prize of at least $1 million.
Opening flights are ongoing throughout this week at GGPoker with players starting out with a big stack of 50,000 in chips.
The first 14 flights feature 13-minute blind levels and 180 minutes of late registration while the final opening flight on Aug. 2 at 2 p.m. GMT / 10 a.m. EDT is a bit faster with 10-minute blind levels and 140 minutes of late registration.
Players can re-enter once during the late-registration period, making it possible to have up to 30 entries per player in this event.
Those surviving 17 blind levels during any of the Day 1s will advance to Day 2 on Aug. 2 at 6:30 p.m. GMT / 2:30 p.m. EDT where they will compete against other survivors in a deeper structure of 15-minute blind levels until the nine-max final table is reached.
The final table will then be streamed at GGPoker.TV on Saturday, Aug 8 at 6:30 GMT / 2:30 EDT with hole cards displayed until a winner is crowned.
Of course, PokerNews will be covering the Millionaire Maker from the start of Day 2 until a winner is crowned. So you can follow all the action with us!

Long ass 6 days of poker. I was able to finish 150th out of 8,809 in the WSOP (World Series of Poker) Millionaire maker. Pretty wild, 5 of 12 of us in the coaching group finished in the top 150 the other 4 were pro (coaches). Pretty wild result and testament to the studying. I am utterly exhausted. It’s been 12-14 hour days and there’s no chance I could play any more tournaments right now. I busted the 1k and marathon pretty quickly and entered a 1k in the Venetian which had a fantastic structure and though there was re-entry I think I made a few mistakes that was telling me I was fatigued.
Hand 1:
I’m CO, I open 56hh to 1600
BB raises 4,100 so I call given size
Flop AA7h
He bets 1/4th pot. I call
Turn 8h
He checks. I think to myself that he’s most likely missed and unlikely to have an ace given the sizings of his flop bet and he insta checks turn so I pot it (stupid) to fold out everything else in case I miss the million outs on the river. He jams…Ugh oh. Now I am forced to call w/ those million outs… I miss (no 9 or 4 or heart). I also thought I had much higher equity in the pot but I didn’t and I should have checked back and folded a missed river. Too high variance in a weaker tournament.
I should have checked behind and c/f on a miss. I forced myself into an all-in pot with a pot sized bet.
Hand 2: AA MP
I raise and BB calls
Flop is 873 rainbow

Check, I bet pot, he min click raises back to me. I jam for the remaining 25bb. My initial gut was that I was beat and I could make an exploitative fold but then thought that was nuts on a 783 board with AA. I’d mandatory call the min-raise and probably a small bet on the turn and fold rivers if he triple barrels. I wouldn’t normally jam here and it was a rec player so a min raise back is probably pretty strong. I call one all day long here against anyone else but def not jamming. Instead, I think that I can get max value out of all pockets lower than mine and any pair of 8s and jam. I am obv wrong and I end up with 30% equity against 78 two pair and missed. Way to borderline a spot to get it in. I doubt rec player min-clicks back like that with anything worse. Maybe a small pair but I block A8. He has all sets and two pairs. Meh.

Not a whole lot going on with the trades. The run-up makes things boring (though tonight it seems like we’ve had a bit of a market fall). Might make for some STT opportunities tomorrow.
I am stuck right at about 24% and I don’t have a whole lot of opportunity for big increases until I can get on more trades.
