Time's Running Out to Enter the $500K Gtd Rakeless 888poker XL Autumn Main Event
Table Of Contents
The 888poker XL Autumn Series' conclusion is rapidly approaching, and that means time is running out if you have dreams of becoming its $500,000 guaranteed Main Event champion. This tournament is different from most because every cent from the $250 goes into the prize pool. That is correct, the XL Autumn Series Main Event is completely rake-free!
Several Day 1s are already done and dusted. They have attracted a grand total of 1,256 entrants, meaning $314,000 of the $500,000 guarantee has been collected. However, with only seven flights remaining, it is touch and go whether this mystery bounty tournament will overlay.
Each flight has averaged 79 entrants. If that average continues, another 553 players will buy in, resulting in a near $50,000 overall. Of course, that means more value for you if it does happen, and gives you another reason to invest $250 or play in the plentiful satellites and get in on the XL Autumn Main Event action.

XL Autumn Series Main Event Current Top 10
Of the 1,256 players to buy in so far, only 142 have punched their Day 2 tickets. Day 2 starts at 9:30 p.m. BST on September 28, with play continuing until only eight players remain. The tournament then pauses until 7:00 p.m. BST on September 30, which is when the eight finalists lock horns under the watchful eyes of the 888poker Twitch stream.
It's a Ukrainian one-two right now, with "PasHTeT25" and "KabanRoman08" leading the way with seven Day 1s remaining. They, along with Lithuania's "Ungulaitis," are the only players to have finished their respective flights with at least 100 big blinds. Current fourth-place occupier "dariotoma" came close after bagging up 98 big blinds on what was the Maltese grinder's 11th bullet! They're going to have to go deep or pull one of the larger mystery bounties to get back in the green for this tournament.
