The XL Autumn Series has been running on 888poker for a little while now, and we are now approaching the big finale, Day 2 of the $500,000 GTD Main Event.
The $250 buy-in tournament that features no rake, so every cent goes straight into the prize pool, has seen a number of Day 1 flights already, but if you’re still to secure your seat for the Day 2 action, there is still time.
Day 2 of the XL Autumn Series Main Event takes place on Monday, September 29, which means you have the entire weekend in front of you to get in the mix.
Wrap Up September in Style
With a number of Day 1 flights in the books already, around 150 players have made it through and will be coming back on Monday to continue their journey to the final table. They’ll be joined by those who manage to find a virtual bag in one of the remaining flights.
Between Friday and Monday, there are still six more opportunities on offer:
- Friday, Sep 26 — one flight at 7 pm BTS / 6 pm UTC
- Saturday, Sep 27 — one flight at 7 pm BTS / 6 pm UTC
- Sunday, Sep 28 — three flights at 3 pm, 7 pm, and 10 pm BTS / 2 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm UTC

The buy-in for the Main Event is $250, and, as mentioned already, the entire buy-in goes towards the prize pool. Even with that, there is a real possibility that the tournament overlays and doesn’t reach its guarantee, adding value for those players who do get involved.
In case you don’t have the bankroll to buy in directly, there are also numerous satellites running at 888poker right now, allowing you to win a seat for much cheaper.
On top of this, the operator has been very active with various giveaways across their social media channels, dishing out various tournament tickets for the series. With the Main Event approaching, this is the time to keep your eyes peeled for any opportunities to win free satellite tickets or even direct Main Event entries.
The best way to go about this is to follow 888poker TV on Twitch. Their ambassadors have been very active throughout the series, streaming their play and hosting all sorts of giveaways for the viewers. Of course, make sure to also follow 888poker on X / Twitter for even more freebies.
Exciting Finish to Another Great Series
With this weekend’s action, 888poker will be wrapping up another successful tournament series. So far, several events have attracted well over 1,000 entries, demonstrating that nothing attracts poker players like a promise of fun tournament action and big prize pools.
Breaking the record in terms of attendance so far was the $16.50 Opening Event, which attracted almost 1,500 entries, generating the prize pool of $22,000. The $5.50 Mystery Bounty tournament garnered a lot of interest as well, with over 1,200 entries.
In addition to the last few Day 1 flights for the Main Event, this weekend will see a number of other fun events that you can add to the mix, such $16.50 PLO5 Mystery Bounty Special on Saturday and $16.50 Mystery Bounty Mini on Sunday.
Free up your schedule this weekend and don’t miss out on the opportunity to compete for your share of the $500,000 prize pool up for grabs in the XL Autumn Series Main Event. You never know, this could be your time to shine and be one of the eight players featured on the final table that will be streamed live on the 888poker TV channel on September 30.
