The 888poker XL Spring Series draws to a thrilling conclusion on June 5 with the massive $500,000 guaranteed Main Event. While there are still a few Day 1s for you to get your teeth into, time is rapidly running out if you want to become the XL Spring Series Main Event champion.

The tournament looks set for a substantial overlay, which means the XL Spring Series has some incredible value. The event needs almost 2,150 entrants to hit the guarantee but only 644 unique players have bought in so far! Can you afford to miss out on so much valye?

Ridiculous Value in the XL Spring Main Event Satellites

Satellites for the XL Spring Series are running around the clock, including a trio of satellites that have to be seen to be believed.

At 11:15 a.m. BST, 1:15 p.m. BST, and 3:15 p.m. BST, there are $0.01 buy-in satellites that each guarantee 15x $250 seats! How amazing is that? Imagine turning one cent into the lion's share of a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool!

British grinder "PasaukMamai" is the current chip leader, having turned their 10,000 starting stack into a tournament-leading 167,680 during their chosen starting flight. "PasaukMamai" is now on course to become this tournament's champion and has enough chips to eliminate opponents when the massive mystery bounties become active on Day 2.

PokerNews believes the largest bounty to enter the mix on Day 2 will be worth $50,000! Can you imagine bagging a $50,000 bounty?
