The most anticipated Okada Manila Millions Main Event is finally here, officially kicking off today at the PokerStars Live room inside the luxurious Okada Manila . With a buy-in of just PHP 8,000 (~USD 130), this tournament is perfect for recreational players and starting players to experience a major event with a massive PHP 6,000,000 (~USD 97,270) guarantee. It offers a world-class experience and a professional structure at a very low buy-in, plus the chance to win seat and hotel packages for the upcoming Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Manila this July.

Okada Manila Millions Day 1A Starts At 12:00 PM

Today features two of the seven starting flights, giving you options to join the action. Day 1A begins at 12:00 PM with 25-minute levels, while Day 1B starts at 5:00 PM with a faster 20-minute structure. Registration for Day 1A remains open until approximately 4:30 PM, and Day 1B registration closes around 8:40 PM. Everyone starts with a healthy 25,000-chip stack (250 big blinds), and since every flight plays down to the money, bagging chips for Day 2 means you’ve already secured a payout.

Somuchpoker will also be on the floor providing live coverage starting today, so you can follow all the big hands and key updates as the action unfolds.
