Coolers and Bad Beats: The Festival Kicks Off in Spectacular Style at 888poker

888poker guaranteed that it will award at least $1 million in prize money by the time the latest The Festival Online Series crowns its champion, and it should have no problem in achieving that goal if they opening three events are anything to go by. Why? Because all three tournaments smashed their advertised guarantees.

What better way to kick The Festival Online Series off in style than by running a $109 buy-in $100,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Opening Event? That's exactly what 888poker did, and it proved to be a massive hit, with 1,072 entries creating a $107,200 prize pool.
