How can I play in a million dollar prize pool without having to go to Vegas for the WSOP or hit the WPT trail?  How can a $30 buy-in get me over $300,000 for 1^st place in a land-based casino?  The Florida Poker Rooms have come up with an solution.  It’s called the Florida Million II.

This tournament  is split into two flights, with many day 1′s.  There are seven participating poker rooms in Florida: Palm Beach Kennel Club, Daytona Beach Kennel Club, Mardi Gras, Derby Lane, Orange Park Kennel Club, Pensacola Greyhound Park, and Naples-Ft Myers Greyhound Track. These rooms may hold lower buy-in satellite tournaments to gain entry into the Florida Million II $500+50 tournament.  Alternatively, you can buy-in directly for $500+50.

Each Day 1 is limited to a max of 150 players.  The tournament structure is identical at each of the seven locations.  Day 1 flights are played until 10% of the field remains.  Once 90% of the players have been eliminated, the remaining 10 % are guaranteed to be in the money.  Those advancing to the finals will have their identification verified and chips transferred to the host location.It’s similar to the November 9, as the players advancing have to wait to play out Day 2 and hopefully Day 3.  The finals will be held at the Palm Beach Kennel Club located in West Palm Beach on December 11,2010.

Most of us in Florida live with in driving distance of more than one poker room offering a Day 1, so if at first you do not succeed try and try again.  The Florida Million is not a freeze out! Re-entries to Day 1 is encouraged.  There are over 35 Day 1’s being offered state wide. Visit the Florida Million website at http://flmillion.com/for current prize pool information and further details.  Good Luck as you  find your way to the nearest poker room offering a Day 1.

The first Florida Million tournament  had 2,349 entrants with 235 making the money earlier this year.
