Knockout Week Incoming: 888poker Brings Back the KO Games
- 888poker revives Knockout Games with a $109 Main Event, $200K prize, zero rake.
- Multiple entry options: freerolls, $0.01 satellites, and Twitch drops.
- Main event starts Nov 11; final table streamed on Nov 18.
November is taking 888poker back to what it does best: bounties. This month, 888poker will revive its Knockout Games for another week of mystery envelopes, unexpected eliminations, and one particularly unusual Main Event. But this isn’t your standard KO series anymore. The headliner comes with zero rake. Yes, zero. And no, that wasn’t a typo.
A Rake-Free Headliner… Really
The standout event this time is the $109 buy-in Knockout Games Main Event, featuring a guaranteed $200,000 prize pool and notably, no rake. That means every cent of the buy-in goes directly into the pot, meaning this is going to be one of the rarest tournament setups on the online calendar.
Day 1 flights for the Main Event start on November 11, and survivors will merge into Day 2 on November 17. The final table, which plays out on November 18, will be live-streamed on 888pokerTV’s Twitch channel.
The Full KO Games Lineup
While the Main Event might be the showstopper, the rest of the series still packs value of its own. Here's a look at what players can expect:
- $5.50 Mystery Bounty Frenzies for players who like big swings on small bankrolls
- $8.80 Micro Mystery Bounty events ideal for low-stakes grinders
- $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main Event with a $50K guarantee (Day 2 also on November 17)
- Mid-stakes options like the $55 PKOs and $109 Mystery Bounties scattered across the schedule
- $215 High Roller PKO and a $1,050 Super High Roller with $35K guaranteed for those aiming higher
How to Get In (Without Paying Full Price)
There’s no need to pony up the full buy-in if you’ve got time and timing on your side. 888poker is PROVIDING multiple ways to score Main Event tickets for little or nothing:
- Freerolls: Daily giveaways include Main Event seats
- Satellites: Start from $0.01, scaling up across tiers
- Twitch Drops: 888poker ambassadors will hand out tickets live during their streams
