888poker: the XL series and what a $320 High Roller looks like
888poker profile: the XL series, the PokerNews Online Championship, the Mystery Bounty schedule, and the event-by-event tables the ledger carries for XL Autumn and PNOC 2026.
888poker runs its tournament year as three XL series, Winter, Spring and Autumn, each a few weeks of Mystery Bounty, PKO and DeepStack events topped by a Mystery Main Event. The buy-ins are small by the standards of the rooms above it on this ledger, and the room’s “High Roller” label starts at $320, which is the clearest illustration on the site of why a buy-in has to be read beside the name.
XL Autumn Series 2026
The series closed on September 29 with the $250 Mystery Main Event ($300,000 guaranteed) and the $25 Mystery Mini Main ($50,000 guaranteed). PokerNews printed the event-by-event results for events #01 to #33 the day before, and the series page carries the whole table: event, name, entrants, prize pool, champion, prize. The Main Event results were not in the source and are not on the ledger.
The high rollers in the table: Event #08, the $525 High Roller, 60 entries, $30,000 pool, MasterBak3r for $8,985. Event #13, the $320 Super KO High Roller, 48 entries, KITCHEN_TE9 for $2,889. Event #19, the $320 DeepStack High Roller, 51 entries, KITCHEN_TE9 again for $3,415. Event #33, the $1,050 Super High Roller, 37 entries, $40,000 pool, OMGTHATEDGE for $13,680, the largest first prize in the first 33 events.
The largest single pool before the Main Events was the $109 Mystery Opening Event at $100,000, won by mikeyW94 from 871 entries for $12,376. comon99 won two $8.80 Mystery Bounties. Fields ran from 37 to 1,066 entries.
PokerNews Online Championship 2026
The second 888poker series on the ledger ran to October 27, 2026 and closed with the $250 Mystery Main Event, $250,000 guaranteed. IOwnU888 won it for $21,099 plus $4,423 in bounties from 1,091 entries and a $254,203 pool, beating Aaron Barone heads-up; Barone had opened the series by winning the $16.50 Mystery Bounty. PokerNews printed all 40 champions with entrants, prize pool and prize, and the full eight-handed final table of the Main Event, which makes it the first 888poker event with its own record on the ledger. The 40 pools add up to $805,060.
The high rollers in the table: two $525 High Rollers, each 52 entries and $7,787 to the winner (CPU0r, then Flopzilla_XD); the $320 Super KO High Roller, 28 entries, PS_Raul for $3,970; the $320 DeepStack High Roller, 29 entries, Jerry “Perrymejsen” Odeen for $4,000; and the $320 Closing Big Shot, PS_Raul again for $3,832. The whole table is on the PNOC 2026 page.
Earlier in 2026
The XL Winter Series ended on January 27 with “ChePushila77” of Mexico winning the Main Event for $50,045. The XL Spring Series ended on May 12 with “CPU0r” winning the $500,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Main Event for $41,775; “OneShotAaway” won the $320 DeepStack High Roller from 62 entries. Those results are from PokerNews’ XL coverage; they are mentioned here as context and will be recorded on the ledger when their full payout tables are added.
How the room publishes
Screen names, no countries in the series tables. The ledger’s XL Autumn table has 33 champions and not one real name, which is how 888poker reports its series. Prize pools are given per event, which is unusual and useful: the table makes it possible to see the guarantee structure of a whole series at once, from $3,472 for a $8.80 Super KO to $100,000 for the opener.
The United States
888 operates in New Jersey through the shared network with WSOP.com, which is where 888’s US results would be recorded. The international room covered here does not serve US players.
On the series board
XL Autumn Series 2026 is listed as completed, with the 33-row table, the Main Event guarantees and the note that the finals were not in the source. PNOC 2026 is listed as completed with all 40 rows. The room’s results pages hold one event record, the PNOC Main Event, because that is the one 888poker final table a source printed in full; the series pages are where the rest of the room’s results live.
