In 2010, the Macau Millions set a new record for players in an Asian tournament with 741 entries.
In 2011, there will be a HKD$1.5 million prize pool guarantee for the HKD$,200 buy-in main event.
"There's every reason to think that PokerStars Macau at Grand Lisboa will be the first to cross the 1000-player mark in Asia this year," said Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin.
"Two years ago, players put up $10,000 for a million dollar guarantee in the Red Dragon event. They're now awarding more prize money at a fraction of the entry fee."

The Macau Millions has a unique structure that allows players to enter any and all of the SEVEN Day 1 starting heats. Each Day 1 plays down until there are 7% of the field surviving to Day 2, who are all in the money.
There is excitement that players like Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, and John Juanda will return to Macau to play more sessions of super high stakes poker with the added action in town for the tournaments.
