How you convince Bicknell is up to you. However, there are already some strong submissions.
Andy Wool, the man who recently found himself at loggerheads with GGPoker, has thrown his hat into the ring. As a testament to his character, Wool said he’d give anything he won to charity.

With the Millions Online main event guarantee set at $5 million, that means a six-figure sum could be heading for a good cause.
Offering to give away the prize money isn’t mandatory. Bicknell and Partypoker will choose a worthy winner based on the best poker story.
Partypoker Millions Online Back Again
Partypoker’s latest Millions Online got underway on February 13. The series as a whole features 28 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1,000 to $100,000.
The main event is the star attraction, despite having a lower guarantee than in previous years.
Partypoker set a new standard in 2018 when the Millions Online main event’s prizepool hit $21.1 million. That made it the largest online tournament in history.
It followed that with another $20 million guarantee in 2019 before scaling back to $5 million.
GGPoker broke the record last year after the 2020 WSOP Main Event generated a prizepool worth $27.5 million.
The 2021 Millions Online main event won’t be challenging that record this time around. However, Partypoker is still aiming to get as many players into the mix as possible.
Satellites starting at $0.01 are underway and the person who submits the best video will get to play the tournament for free.
