888poker Steps Into Summer Fray with Freezeout Series
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.
