888 is a renowned online poker site that is gaining a lot of popularity among tournament poker players. 888 offers a number of tournaments in a variety of styles, including Sit and Go tournaments, Multi Table tournaments, and Rebuy tournaments. In addition, 888 hosts many special promotional tournaments, some of which provide the opportunity to gain access to major live land-based tournaments such as the World Series of Poker.

888 Tournaments: Sit and Go

One of the most popular 888 tournament types is the Sit and Go. A Sit and Go is a casual poker tournament in which the event starts as soon as the requisite number of participants have registered. There is no official starting time; rather, players simply sit at the table until the tournament is ready to go. Buy-ins vary, and the tournament blinds increase as the tournament moves along. The last remaining player is declared the winner.

At 888, up to 50 players may participate in a single Sit and Go tournament. In addition, you can participate in eight Sit and Go 888 tournaments simultaneously.

888 Tournaments: Multi Table

Multi Table tournaments at 888 work in a similar fashion to Sit and Gos, except for one key difference: the tournament begins at a predetermined starting time. Don't let the name fool you - Sit and Go tournaments can also include multiple tables. However, if you see a Multi Table tournament (or MTT) advertised at 888, you'll know that you'll have to register before the tournament is scheduled to begin. These tournaments progress until a final table remains, and finally end when a final winner is determined. Players are paid according to a predetermined payout schedule.

Some of the 888 Multi Table tournaments are known as Satellites. These tournaments reward their winners with a free buy-in to a more lucrative major tournament. Occasionally, Satellites can even reward you with a buy-in and travel package to a major land-based event.

888 Tournaments: WSOP Packages

Savvy players at 888 can use their poker skills, dedication and even creativity to gain free entry as well as travel funds, hotel accommodations and spending money to the largest poker tournament in the world: the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Nevada. 88 WSOP packages are awarded to players each year, and you can win one of these packages in seven different ways:

• Earn the most Status Points in a certain month
• Win a WSOP Bounty tournament or knock out a select poker pro
• Earn the most Status Points through 888 Poker and 888 Casino in a month
• Play the most raked hands in a month at 888
• Create a YouTube video explaining why you want to go to the WSOP
• Have the highest amount of tournaments played times your tournament buy-ins in a month
• Refer the most friends to 888 in a month

888 Tournaments: New Player Tournaments

888 offers two great tournaments that are exclusively available to their newly registered players: the $50,000 First Depositors' Freeroll and the $3,500 First Depositor's Freeroll. Both of these tournaments have guaranteed prize pools, meaning that a certain a amount of money is guaranteed to each top finisher regardless of who signs up. As their names imply, these tournaments are freerolls, meaning that there is no buy-in fee to enter. Other freeroll 888 tournaments are available for 888 veterans as well.

888 Private Tournaments

If you'd prefer a more intimate environment for you and your friends while you're playing 888 tournaments, you can choose to set up your won private tournament. In a private tournament, you get to make the rules, set the buy-ins and invite exactly who you want to play. Be sure to schedule your private tournament at least three days in advance so that 888 will have time to work out the details and get everything set up.

888 Poker Tournaments: $10,000 Monday Twins Challenge

The Monday Twins are two tournaments held every Monday evening. Each tournament has a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool and a low buy-in of $20 + $2. If you receive a money finish in both tournaments on the same day, you'll get to enter the tournaments for free the following week. If you win both tournaments in the same day, you'll get a $10,000 cash bonus.

Other 888 Tournaments with Guaranteed Prize Pools

You'll find plenty of other 888 tournaments on other days of the week as well. These tournaments include the Tuesday and Thursday Challenges, each with a $12,500 guaranteed prize pool. In addition, there's the Saturday and Sunday Challenges. The Saturday Challenge is worth $50,000 and the Sunday Challenge is worth $25,000.

It's easy to find a tournament at any time of the day or night at 888. Whether you're looking for freeroll tournaments, Sit and Go's, MTTs, Satellites or guaranteed prize pools, you'll be able to find them at 888 Poker.
