Cold nights are growing increasing common around the world yet the action is heating up at 888poker where the XL Winter Series takes place from December 10.
The XL Winter Series is a 34 event online poker tournament festival with combined guarantees in excess of $1 million. It is the perfect way to send off 2020 and welcome in the New Year.
There is an XL Winter Series event for every 888poker player with a wide range of buy-ins starting at $5.50 and increasing to $320. The largest buy-in is reserved for XL Winter #17 on December 17, the $320 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed High Roller, which is one of a quartet of tournaments PokerNews is providing live updates for.
Our live reporting starts on the first day of XL Series with the XL Winter #1 - $50,000 Opening Event. This $109 buy-in tournament will get the festival off to a flying start.
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will then be on hand to bring you all the action from XL Winter #10: $50,000 Tune Up on December 13, then the aforementioned High Roller on December 17, before turning its attention to the massive Main Event on December 20.
$250 is the buy-in for XL Winter #32: $500,000 Main Event PKO, unless you win your way into it via one of the many satellites running at 888poker. These satellites start at $0.01 so absolutely everyone has the chance for some XL Winter Series Main Event glory.
