Dara O'Kearney (famous poker book author), runs deep in the MicroMillions MainEvent on Pokerstars

Poker Orifice · 2026-08-31T01:33:53-0400

15,000 entrants today in Pokerstars $22 MicroMillions MainEvent. Famous poker book author, Dara O'Kearney has a deep run taking 14th place.

Just a little over $1,000. Not too bad for a $22 investment!

How many of you all skipped this one due to Pokerstars being such a crappy site?

Good for him although I suspect, he has had far bigger cashes during his career

14/15000, So top 0.1%, quite the achievement with such a large field. Congrats to him !

I think this is bigger news for PokerOrifice than it is for Dara.
Just another cash 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think he just wanted to show that the site, despite what lots of people say on the forum, is still alive and their tournament series is going well.

Upon checking a bit the lobby he saw a familliar name under the top 100. Yes thats not a special cash for Dana u are right but still quite the run in such a large field and approx 50 x buy-in won.

Guess this should have happened on GG to really count as "news" for you 😅

Yes that was almost certainly the point. Getting 15.000 entries for a $22 tournament and also attracting famous players like Dara O'Kearney is quite impressive. If 888 Poker hold a similar event, what could they hope to get, like maybe 500?
