We might see $4 million going to the winner of an online tournament next year, courtesy of partypoker.

Competition is good.

Earlier this month partypoker held their first ever online MTT with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool and just last week PokerStars announced a $9 million added $25,000 High Roller for 2019. Now partypoker are once again the site with the big announcement.

The 2018 version of the online MILLIONS, taking place between December 1-4, is now set to quadruple the guarantee, meaning online grinders will be playing for $20 million.

That means that if this year's payout structure is anything to go by, the eventual winner could pocket $4 million, which would be the biggest online prize in tournament history.

Tickets given away every week

Staring in February next year, 10 players a week will win a $5,300 ticket in an online tournament leaderboard and the top ten finishers in each live MILLIONS Main Event will do the same.

President of partypoker Live, John Duthie, commented: “I love the concept of a MILLIONS leg on partypoker, it gives us the opportunity to bring together our MILLIONS players from all over the world at the end of the year to compete for an unprecedented prizepool. I was a little nervous about trying this concept out, but players supported us this time so we should return the favour and go for a record breaking online prizepool in 2018.”
