Full 888poker XL Inferno Schedule and Promotions Released
888poker has released the full schedule for the upcoming XL Inferno series, which runs online from May 10 through to May 20 and sees 34 tournaments take place.
The XL Inferno tournaments have a wide range of buy-ins, which means there's an XL Inferno event that is accessible to everyone regardless of the size of their bankroll. It isn’t only the high buy-in tournaments that have substantial guarantees because the Mini Tune Up on May 13 only costs $12 to enter yet features a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.
It's the trio of Main Events that's the highlight of the festival. You can play in a $30 buy-in Micro Main with a $50,000 guarantee, a $160 buy-in Mini Main with a $200,000 guarantee, and a $1,050 Main Event that guarantees at least $1 million will be awarded.
When 888poker last ran a $1 million guaranteed Main Event, 1,002 entries were processed meaning the guarantee was hit. That tournament was won by Argentina’s “Pepepepepe.” who turned a $1,050 investment into a cool $183,867.
Satellites for the Main Event are running now on 888poker and start as low as $0.01.
