"Nolet20" Wins Micromillions 11 Main Event for $89,854

The 11th edition of PokerStars' Micromillions came to an end on Sunday, July 26, after Canada's "Nolet20" took down Main Event for $89,854.

The $22 buy-in tournament attracted grinders from all over the world and generated 55,524 entries. The impressive turnout surpassed the already massive $1 million guarantee and brought the total prize pool up to $1,110,480.

Despite the $111,111 guaranteed to go the Main Event's winner, a five-handed deal was reached in which the winner, "Nolet20," took home $89,854.68, which was actually less than the $110,743 cash that Canada's "BgsaPnaples" took home when he won the Micromillions 10 Main Event back on March 29.
