High Roller Action Ready to Roll
The final few days of the 888poker's 2022 XL Spring Series are here, with a big High Roller game set to go today and Day 2 of the Main Event on deck for tomorrow. There is $50,000 guaranteed in XL Spring 36 - $50,000 High Roller, a rebranded version of the Big Shot 525.
High rollers start the day with 10,000 chips and will play 12-minute levels throughout the day. Rebuys and late entries are open for three hours after the game starts, though players can only rebuy 10 times.
The action gets going today at 14:30 ET and they'll play down to a winner before the end of the day. They'll need 100 entries today to hit the $50k guarantee and there are two satellite games running later today prior to the start of the game, with a third one currently running. Some players will be in this game for as little as $5.50.
Stay tuned here at PokerNews for High Roller action today, and make sure you come back tomorrow for exciting Day 2 action from the $500k Guaranteed Main Event, which is still running Day 1 flights with plenty of chances for players to bag a Day 2 stack.
