$1.7M GTD XL Retro Series at 888Poker

Features of the series

For the second time this year, 888Poker is allowing its players to participate in old tournaments that were sometimes part of the regular schedule. In March, $888k GTD Retro Week was also played, and soon a new similar festival will be held:

From October 9 to 24, 2022, the XL Retro Series will guarantee $1,4000,000 across 27 numbered events.

The series is unlike any other tournament festival in the room this year:

• Besides events with buy-in from $11 to $525, three massive events will be held:
  • $1,050 ($45,000 XL Retro #12 and #13)
  • $2,100 ($150,000 XL Retro #26)
• The average guarantee compared to the XL Spring Series has increased by a quarter to about $52,000, even though the average buy-in (excluding the 3 most expensive tournaments) rose to $144 (roughly 8%). However, almost a million of the guaranteed prize pool will be added to the four largest events
• Every day, except Sundays, three more MTTs will be held within the series, guaranteeing $300,000 altogether:
  • $6,000 XL Retro Big Shot 11
  • $12,000 XL Retro PKO Rumble 22 
  • $12,000 XL Retro Big Shot 55

Besides the old tournaments, two events will start on October 16 in the fashionable PKO format — Mystery Bounty (with buy-ins of $33, $215, and guarantees from $20k to $200k). The payment of the random bounty will begin after the end of the late registration period.

888Poker held a similar tournament on September 25, 2022. The $100k guaranteed was almost doubled, and players made 1,887 entries of $109. The biggest bounty ($10k) was won by the player who left the tournament in 89th place.

From September 30, satellite freerolls are being played for the Main Event (three daily guaranteeing 21 tickets). Soon regular qualifiers with steps will be added.
