The $200K Gtd XL Series Mystery Bounty at 888poker Looks Incredible Value

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 11:01:18 +0000

The second largest guaranteed event of the 888poker XL Winter Series crowns is shaping up to be the tournament for value hunters. XL Winter #20 Mystery Bounty is a $162 buy-in, $200,000 guaranteed affair that requires 1,333 entrants to hit the ambitious guarantee. At the time of writing, only 347 players have bought in, and time is rapidly running out to get in on the action.

Fifteen Day 1s for the $200,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty event run between January 19-22, which seems like ample opportunity to garner enough players to break through the guaranteed amount. However, each of the completed flights so far has averaged only 52 players, meaning everything points towards a substantial overlay for 888poker, and that means more value for the players.

Biography

Aaron Barone is a Canadian poker player and Twitch streamer who is part of 888poker’s Stream Team.

“I started off playing live poker with friends around the kitchen table,” Barone told PokerNews. “I was awfully competitive and one of the main reasons I put a lot of effort into my game wasn’t to make money, but to beat one friend of mine in particular. I couldn’t stand the smug look on his face when he dragged pots, and I knew there’d be less of it if I was the one with all the chips!”
