888’s XL Autumn Series is its Largest in Three Years Online poker operator 888poker has announced details of its next XL Series . Under the title Autumn Series, the new festival guarantees $2 million across 44 events, by far the largest XL event in recent history.
The series is supersized in almost every way. The biggest increase is the total guarantees, up double on the last spring series and 62% on XL Winter Series held last December.
In fact, it is the largest XL series guarantee since September 2018 , suggesting the operator is finally confident to start putting on big-ticket festivals for players after years of being much more modest in its scheduling.
The number of events has also grown—to 44, the most in four years—but the average guarantee per event of over $45,000 still makes it one of its most prestigious in recent years. $1 Million Main Event Already Underway
In particular, the Main Event stands out: The operator has ambitiously put on a $1 million guaranteed tournament, double the usual size of a Main for an XL Series.
The tournament costs $1,050 to enter and will have various Day 1 flights allowing players multiple ways of entry. These are already underway and will run all the way until Day 2, which will take place on November 1. A slate of satellites is also spread to help players with smaller bankrolls get in on the action. The operator is also organizing a number of freeroll satellites , through which it will give away thousands of dollars in free entries into $27.50 Main Event satellites. This way, all players at the site will have a good shot of getting into the Main Event.
The freerolls are already underway, as are the buyin satellites, so you can head over to 888poker and jump into those every single day for the rest of October. 888 XL Autumn Series: Full Schedule
