Low Buy-ins and High Guarantees Await in the 888poker ChampionChip Games
888poker has wasted no time in revealing its latest tournament series hot on the heels of the hugely successful XL Autumn Series. The ChampionChip Games run from October 22 through October 31, and promises tons of low-stakes action but large guarantees; combine the guaranteed prize pools, and there is $500,000 waiting to be won.
All the ChampionChip Games are named after sporting events, and while there are no gold, silver, or bronze medals up for grabs, there is plenty of cold, hard cash. The first of 30 ChampionChip Games numbered events commences at 3:00 p.m. GMT on October 22. Billed as the opening ceremony, the first event commands a $33 buy-in and boasts a $25,000 guarantee. As this event is a mystery bounty affair, there will be some great hidden bounties on the line.
As with all online poker tournament festivals and series, the ChampionChip Games' most anticipated tournament is the Main Event. The Main Event's buy-in is $60, the largest of all over events, but for that still affordable sum, you get to play for a share of a guaranteed $200,000! The ChampionChip Games Main Event is a mystery bounty, and one of those golden envelopes contains a jackpot payment of a cool $20,000!
Main Event players receive 12,000 chips as a starting stack, and play 12-minute levels where the blinds and antes start at 30/60/7a. Late registration is available for 180 minutes, and unlimited re-entries are allowed until the late reg door slams shut. Each Day 1 runs untl the end of the 18th level, with surviving players progressing to Day 2 on October 30. The mystery bounties are in play from the start of Day 2, with the plan to play down to the nine-handed final table, which is then streamed on 888poker's excellent Twitch channel on October 31.
