iPoker Network Set to Host Its Largest-Ever Online Tournament Series
Thanks to the PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) and the GGPoker WSOP Online bracelet series, tournament grinders are spoiled for choice during September and October. An unexpected operator has thrown its hat into the ring, the skins on the iPoker Network.
The Elite Series XL Autumn Edition takes place across all sites on the iPoker Network, including bet 365, Betfair Poker, Grosvenor Poker, and Paddy Power Poker. A bustling schedule of 496 tournaments runs from September 1 through October 1, with combined guarantees worth €7.5 million.
The €7.5 million in total guaranteed prize pools represents the largest sum guaranteed in the iPoker Network's long history; it marks a €2 million increase on the same series it ran this time last year. The iPoker Network has enjoyed substantial growth, reflected in this record-breaking festival.
What to Expect From the Elite Series XL Edition
The Elite Series XL Autumn Edition features 496 tournaments, with ten of those events labeled as "flighted." Flighted tournaments allow players to play in as many flights as they wish, with all their stacks and bounties combined if they progress to Day 2 more than once.
The Main Event, named the Autumn Challenger, is one such flighted tournament. It costs €250 to enter and boasts a €300,000 guarantee on its prize pool. The Autumn Challenger is a PKO tournament that allows up to nine re-entries during the first 17 levels; those levels span 12 minutes.
Following player feedback, the payouts for the PKO and Mystery Bounty events are being tweaked to ensure that a min-cash is worth at least 1.2 times the tournament's buy-in.
Those heading to their favorite iPoker Network site for the Elite Series XL Autumn Edition will notice more six-handed and seven-handed tournaments scheduled than the last time this festival played out. Again, this follows feedback from the players who frequent these series.
Remember, although you can have an account with as many iPoker Network sites as you wish, meaning you can create accounts at bet365, Betfair Poker, Grosvenor Poker, and Paddy Power Poker, the software prevents you from logging into more than one of them at the same time. Be sure to choose the site with the best iPoker Network bonus, loyalty program, and exclusives for your needs.
