Super XL Series Has $1.5 Million Guaranteed Main Event

January´s Super XL Series follows the tried and tested format of previous series with a few extra events and a few enhanced guarantees thrown in. The series gets underway with three valuable “Opening Events” on Thursday January 19, with three different levels of buy-in to accommodate all players.

Thereafter the schedule contains a rich variety of NL Hold´em tournaments, with a couple of Omaha events added to spice up the action. Players will be able to choose from many different formats including 6-Max, Knockout and fast-fold SNAP tournaments, and a “Crazy 8” event.

The series wraps up on Sunday January 29 with five “Main Events” having buy-ins from $5 to $1,050. Naturally the big $1.5 million guaranteed Super XL Main Event is the one that everybody will want to play in, and 888Poker will be hosting several Mega-Satellites earlier in the series to qualify as many players as possible for the feature event.

The Champion of Champions Promotion

Alongside the Super XL Series, 888Poker will be running a leaderboard promotion in which players who cash in any of the events will be awarded leaderboard points. Points will be awarded according to where they finish in each event compared to the buy-in for the event and the number of entries.

The players finishing in positions 19th to 50th on the leaderboard will each win a $55 tournament ticket. Those finishing in the top 18 places on the leaderboard will be invited to play in a Champion of Champions tournament on Tuesday January 31 with $18,000 worth of prizes up for grabs:
