CoinPoker will make the Sunday CoinMillion a permanent monthly occurrence. Beginning on Aug. 9, the $215 buy-in no-limit hold’em event will carry a $1 million guaranteed prize pool on the first Sunday of every month.

Despite the recurring nature, this will be a two-day commitment for players. On Sunday, the field will play down to the final seven players. Then, officials will pause the tournament and the final seven will play down to a winner on Monday.

Players begin with 100,000 chips, equivalent to 200 big blinds, and navigate 10 minute levels. Late registration remains open until Level 19. CoinPoker typically runs a top-heavy payout structure. Previous winners netted more than 12% of the guarantee.

Satellites Galore

Players can enter directly for $215 or qualify through a satellite system. Direct satellites run daily with buy-ins ranging from $5.50 to $44. The platform also hosts Step 3 and Step 4 freerolls, allowing players to build their way to direct satellite tickets without an initial entry fee.

The decision to make the event monthly follows two previous editions that generated a combined 9,062 entries. The inaugural event ran on May 10 during the World Poker Masters, attracting 4,278 entrants. “DaniC1994” claimed the title and $126,500.

In the most recent CoinMillion on July 12, “monc” earned the money and the title. He secured $121,500 for his efforts.

monc topped an even larger field than what DaniC1994 conquered. During the Battle of Malta online series, monc topped a 4,784-entry field. He took home $121,500 for his efforts. During three-handed play, “JhonnieTsunami” tried to negotiate a chop, but couldn’t come to terms with the other two players.

The remaining players rejected the offer. JhonnieTsunami subsequently lost a preflop all in with pocket tens and was eliminated in third place.

Champions of the monthly event receive a physical trophy delivered after the tournament. CoinPoker also awards a digital trophy displayed in the platform’s Trophy Cabinet and adds the winner’s details to the CoinMillion Hall of Champions. The site recorded over 22,000 active players on Sunday, July 26.

Following the Aug. 9 event, the next iterations of the CoinMillion are scheduled for Sept. 6 and Oct. 4.
