Previous CoinMillion Champions
The second CoinMillion took place during the Battle of Malta Online Series on July 12, attracting 4,784 entries. With three players remaining, “JhonnieTsunami” attempted to negotiate a deal, explaining that he did not want to “flip for $70K.” The proposal was rejected, and he was eliminated shortly afterwards after losing a crucial coin flip with pocket tens.
“monc” entered the closing stages with a commanding chip lead and maintained control until the final hand, securing the title and a $121,500 first prize. The inaugural CoinMillion was held during the World Poker Masters on May 10. A total of 4,278 entries created another strong turnout, with “DaniC1994” claiming the first-ever title and $126,500.
Across the opening two editions, CoinMillion attracted a combined 9,062 entries and awarded $248,000 to its champions. Both winners also received physical trophies, permanent digital awards in the CoinPoker Trophy Cabinet, and a place in the CoinMillion Hall of Champions.
