Weekend Preview: 888Millions Mini Main, GG Sunday Main, and Huge PKO
This coming weekend is a massive one for online poker tournament specialists who are spoiled for choice when it comes to playing some value-packed events. We��ve chosen a trio of tournaments that are must-play if you love the thrill of tournament poker. Here they are.
$75,000 Guaranteed in the 888Millions Mini Main Event<
888poker��s biggest-ever online poker series is drawing to a close and one of the final events is an absolute cracker. The 888Millions Mini Main Event gets underway at 7:30 p.m. CET on October 11 and is going to be massive.
There��s a juicy $75,000 guarantee on the prize pool despite the buy-in only weighing in at $55.
Second chance rebuys are available for the first 210-minutes, which is when late registration slams shut. Four rebuys are allowed when your chip stack reads a big fat zero.
Everyone starts with 50,000 chips and plays to a 12-minute clock starting at 150/300/40a.
Even though $55 puts this tournament in the affordable category, 888poker is running a whole host of satellite tournaments into it. These start at only $0.50, giving everyone the chance of a shot at the big time.

Turn $200 Into a Share of $150,000 in the GGPoker Sunday Main Event
There are literally dozens of massive tournaments taking place at GGPoker each Sunday but we��ll hand-picked the $200 buy-in Sunday Main Event to feature in the latest Weekend Preview.
Fifteen-percent of the starters will share at least $150,000 in this tournament, which regularly obliterates its guarantee. There��s a 10,000 starting stack, 13-minutes blinds that start at 50/100/15a and unlimited re-entries until the end of the 12th level.
Buy in direct for $200 or perhaps win some tournament dollars in the rake-free T$ Builder satellites. You may also want to consider selling pieces of your action via the in-built staking software. Whatever you do, just make sure you play this tournament because it��s great fun and pays out big.
Last weekend��s Sunday Main Event drew in a crowd of 1,528 which meant a $281,152 prize pool was up for grabs. Online superstar Jans Arends won it for $42,915 in the early hours of Monday morning.

A $1 Million Guaranteed PKO at PokerStars
The Bounty Builder Series kicks off at PokerStars this weekend so there are plenty of big PKO tournaments for you to jump into. They don��t come much bigger than the Bounty Builder Series 006: $530 NLHE [Bounty Builder HR SE], $1M Gtd event.
This two-day event is guaranteed to be gigantic. The $530 buy-in is split in half with 50% going to the main prize pool and the other half going on everyone��s heads. Bust an opponent and you win at least $125 for doing so.
Up to two re-entries are permitted for the first 3.75 hours of Day 1, which start at 7:00 p.m. CET on October 11. The curtain comes down on Day 1 after 7.75 hours of play before resuming at 7:00 p.m. CET on October 12 to crown the champion.
$530 is likely to be outside the constraints of your back but fear not because there are $22 and $55 satellites running right up to the tournament��s start. One, a $55 buy-in at 7:35 p.m. CET on October 10, has 10-seat guaranteed.
