888poker is running its first-ever Freezeout Series guaranteeing $665,000 across 24 freezeout events.
Freezeout means that once you have busted out of an event, you are not allowed to renter or rebuy into the tournament.
You just have one shot of making it to the top. This format is becoming increasingly more popular across the online poker industry, with 888poker just one of many operators to run these kinds of events and tournament series.
The Freezeout Series action kicks off this Sunday at 6pm GMT as three “Tune Up” events get underway, in total guaranteeing $85,000 on Sunday alone.
The schedule is packed with affordable events, most of which have a $16.50, $33 or $55 buy-in. There is a mix of 6, 8 and 9-Max variants, along with Progressive Knockout Tournaments (PKOs) and Deepstack events.
The $10,000 guaranteed Micro Main Event that takes place towards the end of the series on June 28 has the lowest buy-in at just $5.50.
The Mini Main guarantees $40,000 with a buy-in of $33, and topping the lot, the Main Event that takes place on June 29 has a $200,000 guarantee with a $109 buy-in.
