The Winter XL Series has been held at 888poker, where there has been a flurry of activity from online poker players. The season will conclude this week with the Main Event, a massive event spread over two days.
The tournament starts on January 30 at 6 p.m. GMT, and Day One will conclude with the final table being set up with the nine players still in the game. Day Two will start at 7:00 PM GMT on January 31. Poker players may follow all the action on the final table on the 888poker Twitch channel. There will be a 30-minute delay in the streaming video.
Information about the Big Event
The huge event includes a three hours and fifty minute late registration window and a comparatively low $250 buy-in. In the window, players get three chances to rebuy. There isn't an add-on offered. Participants in this competition are likely to include both amateur and professional athletes. Once registration is through, it will be interesting to see how big the field is in reality.
Each player in the online poker tournament starts with 30,000 chips, giving them 300 large blinds. The blinds will start at 50/100/12a and rise every 12 minutes. The event has a massive $500,000 buy-in.
If enough players sign up to compete at the $250 buy-in, the Main Event prize pool guarantee might be raised. The same event's objective was not met in 2020, necessitating a $75,000 overage.
Your Path to the Main Event: Earn It
There are methods to get a spot in the Main Event if you live in a region where the XL Winter Series is offered. Every day, 888poker offers freerolls with a range of alternatives. To access the satellite tab, simply go to the Main Event lobby.
You may get information on all satellite choices that are related to the Main Event from there. There are several options at extremely reasonable prices, including freerolls and $33 satellites with guaranteed places. You may get a seat for far less than the $250 buy-in fee by participating in the cheaper buy-in or free choices.
The Mini Main Event, which is also scheduled for this Sunday, is another option. The event costs just $33 to enter, and there are $50,000 in total prizes up for grabs. The starting chip stack for players is 20,000, and late registration is only permitted for three hours, 35 minutes. The starting blinds for this tournament are 40/80/10a.
