More and more online poker players are beginning to voice concern over the growing number of reentry tournaments. Freezeouts are becoming less and less common giving players with unlimited bankrolls a better shot at winning.
888poker heard the call and answered with vigor.
The 888poker Freezeout Series runs June 21 – 29 with buy-ins $5.50 to $109 and more than $650,000 in total guarantees. Each event is a freezeout so players will have one shot at victory.
The opening day includes three Tune Up events highlighted by Event #1 ($55 $50,000 Tune Up).
Each day of the Freezeout Series has a theme. Monday is 8 Max, Tuesday is 9 Max, Wednesdays is for 8 Max PKOs, Thursday is for PKOs and Friday is
for Deepstacks.
Things pick up on the weekend. Saturday, June 27 includes one of just two $109 buy-in events and all Saturday events are played using Six Max.
Everything culminates with the $109 buy-in Main Event that comes with a $200,000 guarantee. That event has multiple flights beginning on June 14. There is also a Mini Main Event with a $33 buy-in and $40,000 guaranteed and a Micro Main Event with a $5.50 buy-in and $10,0000 guaranteed.
As always, 888poker offers an extensive satellite tournament program that allows players to qualify for as little as 1 penny.
