As 888poker celebrates the online poker platform’s 20th anniversary this year, the company announced a completely revamped tournament lineup over the weekend. After input from players the company has completely changed the daily and weekend online tournament schedule.
“We’re improving our tournament schedule and rotation,” the company noted in a news release. “With this update, players will have access to some of the best and most value-for-money events in the online poker world.”

What to expect from 888poker’s new lineup
Beyond just offering some changes in the tournament schedule, 888 has also added some new events to the mix. In all, the site has now added more than $500,000 in additional tournament guarantees per week.
Some of that action includes dozens of new tournaments, many of which are in the progressive knockout (PKO) format. These bounty tournaments have become some of the most popular in online poker.
In a PKO, players are awarded only a portion of the bounty of a player they eliminate. The other portion is placed on the winning player’s head. This increases bounty values throughout the entire tournament, making for some interesting scenarios later in the event.
Reaching all player levels
Along with more PKO events, 888 has also added more turbo events to the schedule. In general, the company hopes the improved schedule reaches a wider number of players.
“We’ve made the new tourney slate to appeal to all players by leveling the playing field,” the company notes. “Our rotation will attract more recreational players and those with more experience.”
Players will find daily PKO tournament buy-in starting at just $1. The site has also added three PKO Sunday majors as well. These PKO events feature buy-ins for every level of player including some nice guarantees. Here’s a look at the Sunday events:
- $11 PKO Triple Threat – $15,000 guaranteed
- $22 PKO Triple Threat – $20,000 guaranteed
- $55 PKO Triple Threat – $40,000 guaranteed
