- A special promotion will also be running in conjunction with XL Eclipse where cash prize bonuses can be won by anyone who can win more than one tournament.
- Throughout 2018, 888poker has returned to its policy from early 2016 to offer leaner schedules with higher guarantees per event.
- It will run at the same time as WCOOP, Powerfest, MPN’s UCOP and Unibet’s Online Series.
888poker is the final dot-com operator to reveal the details for its autumn tournament series, XL Eclipse. It will have $2.8 million guaranteed over 34 events in a modest schedule that mirrors the other series the operator has run this year.
XL Eclipse will feature the usual mix of events with buy-ins starting at $5. The tournament series will include a $1 million main event, as seen in previous years, and a $2,600 buy-in high roller where $200,000 is guaranteed.
“I think the High Roller is the most prestigious,” 888poker Ambassador Chris Moorman told the 888 magazine in a recent interview. “You are battling against the best of the best, so whoever wins this will have earned it.”
