Three of the six flights scheduled for the PartyPoker MILLIONS Online KO Main Event are complete and dusted, with the remaining three taking place May 28-29. Time is running out fast if you want to get into the mix and have any chance of snagging the lion’s share of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool.
In those three starting days, some 515 of your fellow PartyPoker players have purchased or won their place in the $530 MILLIONS Online KO Main Event. However, at the time of writing, only 78 of those starters have punched their Day 2 tickets, locking in minimal cash for their efforts and any bonuses they’ve collected along the way.

Whoever wants to become the chip leader and give themselves the best chance of becoming the PartyPoker MILLIONS Online KO Main Event Champion will have to shine brightly on the Day 1 of their choice.
