The Stairway to Millions series began on 12th January with a $1,000 buy-in NLH tournament. The series gave players a chance to climb up the tournament ladder. Every time a player cashed in an event, they were given a ticket to the next round. However, no player had managed to climb the ladder from start to finish. The final round of players consisted of players who are used to playing in the high-stakes field.

In the end, a total of 19 players entered the $102,000 buy-in tournament. Alex Foxen, who was GPI’s Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019, bubbled the tournament. In total, Petrangelo won a seven-figure payout worth around $1.8 million.
Commenting on his win, Petrangelo said, “Every time you win, it feels great. I was looking forward to this series, and I’m looking forward to playing a lot of live [poker] in general this year… it’s awesome. I’m really happy and fortunate that I’m running well.”
