Three OSS XL Main Events This Sunday at ACR Poker

Start of two Main Events

The schedule for ACR Poker’s flagship OSS XL series is designed so that Sundays give players the chance to compete in the series’ largest tournaments.

On September 20, the OSS XL Main Events will take center stage. That day, Day 1A flights will kick off at 15:05 GMT:

• $2,500,000 GTD with a $2,650 buy-in.
• $2,000,000 GTD with a $1,050 buy-in.

Day 1 Structure:

• Starting stacks: 350K chips (219 BB).
• Blinds increase every 15 minutes.
• Late registration with unlimited re-entries is available until the end of blind level 32.
• Play continues until the completion of level 37.

You don’t have to pay the full buy-in to compete for the biggest prizes. Each tournament lobby features a selection of satellites, usually including classic step satellites that start with freerolls, as well as exclusive four-level Survivor Flip satellites.

There will be one final chance to qualify for the Main Event final on September 27.
