888poker Shares $2.5M GTD XL Winter Series Schedule

2023-04-08 14:08:35

The folks over at 888poker are gearing up for a busy start to the new year, with the operator heading to Madrid for their first 888poker LIVE stop of 2023, later this month.

The platform is also getting ready to host the much-adored XL Winter Series, which returns to the virtual felt from January 15-31. Across the festival, more than $2.5 million is up for grabs in cash prizes and is headlined by the $250 buy-in $500,000 guaranteed multi-flight Main Event.

XL Winter Series Promises to Better than Ever

One of the exciting things about this edition of the XL Winter Series is that many tournaments will run as a Mystery Bounty, which have proven to be a massive hit on the site.

Furthermore, the XL Winter Series is bigger than ever before. Last year's installment promised to pay out no less than $1.5 million, whereas this year sees an additional $1 million guaranteed on the previous figure.

Don't Miss Out on the Main Event

Russia's "D.Bogachev" took down last year's XL Winter Series Main Event, after topping the 2,326 entry field. They claimed the $71,278 first-place prize and proved that the poker dream is still alive for microstakes players.

"D.Bogachev", who had played in hundreds of microstakes tournaments on 888poker— with an average buy-in of just $1, satellited into the event for a fraction of the buy-in. He then went all the way to claim the marquee title to cap off the great story.

This year's Main Event begins on Wednesday, January 25, with Day 1 flights scheduled until Monday, January 30. Day 2 will then kick off later that day at 8 p.m. GMT and play down until the final table. The Main Event will then conclude the following day as that is when the winner will be crowned.

Start times for the Main Event have yet to be confirmed, so be sure to regularly check out the client in the coming weeks to plan your journey to XL Winter Series glory.
