Venetian Resort Las Vegas To Host Stairway To Millions Worth $2,150,000

The PokerGO® Stairway To Millions™ series heads to The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas in September for a 12-event series featuring $2,150,000 in total guaranteed prize money. This Stairway To Millions series is a group of poker tournaments with escalating buy-ins starting at $460 and finishing with the $52,000 finale. Every player that cashes at a specific buy-in level wins a seat into the next buy-in level. This builds in a satellite aspect for each tournament. 

Each event also plays down to a winner with a standard tournament prize pool on offer. New for the Stairway To Millions at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is that the top three finishers at a specific buy-in level earn the right to leapfrog an entire buy-in level.

Stairway To Millions Series Schedule

The final four events of this Stairway To Millions series will qualify for the PokerGO Tour (PGT). Starting with the Stairway To Millions Event #10: $10,400 No-Limit Hold’em, players to finish in the money will earn PGT leaderboard points. In December, the top 21 players as ranked by the PGT leaderboard will compete in the season-ending PGT Championship for a $500,000 winner-take-all prize.

“The Venetian remains an incredible partner of PokerGO and the PokerGO Tour, and we are excited to expand our offering with the upcoming Stairway To Millions series,” Mori Eskandani, President of PokerGO, said. “With a new twist that allows players finishing in the top three to

skip a buy-in level, we’re looking to offer an even greater opportunity for players to progress up the stakes and compete at the highest levels. Bringing our players new and exciting experiences is one of our top priorities. Having this one-of-a-kind PokerGO Stairway To Millions event for our players provides a unique opportunity for a player to ladder up from a small buy-in to a high roller tournament,” added Tommy LaRosa, Tournament Director for The Venetian Poker Room.
