After years of rising numbers of re-entries in recent years, there’s been a pushback from some players. Some have expressed concerns that there are too many re-entries overall. Some live tournaments and online sites have taken note.
888poker is the latest and the Freezeout Series runs June 21-29. The festival features 24 events with $665,000 in total guarantees. Satellite events kicked off on June 14 and players can qualify for events starting at just one cent.
888poker offers plenty of freezeout fun
As the name implies, players will find nothing but freezeout action in this series – one buy-in and that’s it.
Some players may long for a time when so many entries weren’t allowed. Others may just be looking for something a little different.
The series is highlighted by the $109 buy-in with a $200,000 guarantee. The event features daily starting flights with the final day set for June 29.
On June 28, players will also find two other main events. The $33 Mini Main Event features a $40,000 guarantee. The $5.50 Micro Main Event features a $10,000 guarantee.
