  • 888poker’s $500K GTD RakeLESS Mystery Main Event is seeing significant overlay.
  • Final starting flights run today; Day 2 main event kicks off tonight.
  • Players have a unique shot at increased value and dead money.
XL Spring Series Overlay
There is no word in the poker dictionary sweeter than "overlay," and for grinders logging in today, 888poker is serving up a massive one. As the $1.5 million guaranteed XL Spring Series approaches its grand finale tonight, tournament organizers are officially forecasting a significant overlay in the flagship $500,000 GTD RakeLESS Mystery Main Event. 

With the final starting flights firing off over the next few hours, the window to capitalize on this massive injection of dead money is rapidly closing.

Breaking Down the Overlay Opportunity

Even before today's overlay forecast, the #54 RAKELESS Mystery Main Event was already arguably the best value tournament of the spring season. Now, with the total entries tracking short of the ambitious half-million-dollar guarantee, 888poker will be forced to bridge the gap out of pocket.  

The event operates under the popular Mystery Bounty format, meaning players who navigate today's final Day 1 flights will advance to tonight's Day 2, where the massive randomized bounty envelopes finally come into play.

Remaining Flight Schedule

If you want to secure your bag for tonight's Day 2, here is exactly when the final flights are running today.
