In what is considered to be the "biggest poker event in Latin America history", the 2024 BSOP Millions is now in full swing at the WTC Sheraton in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The festival kicked off a couple of days ago and will wrap up next week with a massive lineup of 90 tournaments ranging from R$800 to R$250,000. The marquee event on the schedule is the R$25,000 BSOP Millions Championship which gets underway this afternoon and boasts a R$50,000,000 guaranteed prizepool.
Day 1a of this event is the first of three starting flights that will take place over the coming days. The tournament will eventually crown a champion on November 25, and the final table will be live-streamed. Each flight will begin at 2:00 p.m. local time and consist of ten 60-minute levels and a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will also be a 75-minute dinner break slated after level six at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Each player will be given a starting stack of 100,000 chips with the blinds kicking off at 300/600 and a 600 big blind ante. Registration will remain open until the start of level nine, approximately midnight, and each player will be allowed one re-entry per flight. A couple of interesting things to note, the first 15 players seated to begin the day will be given a restaurant voucher or a bottle of champagne, so be sure to be in your seats early. Also, each player will be given one "rabbit hunting" card and its use will make the dealer open board cards of a finished hand.
The players are ready to jump in the action and the PokerNews team is excited to bring you all of the live updates throughout the event so stay tuned for all of the action from the tournament floor.
