To ensure their tournament series does not clash with those organized by major competitors, 888Poker announced that the XL Spring Series will start unusually late, on May 30. The series will run for a total of 8 days and, although it will be similar to the XL Winter Series, players will encounter some different features:
- The Main Event will be a regular MTT tournament without progressive knockouts, and players will be able to make 3 re-entries instead of 4;
- on average, the tournaments will have a $21,000 guaranteed prize pool, which is 25% more than the winter festival;
- although the tournaments will have larger prize pools, there will be fewer of them (25 instead of 34).
