Beginning with September 5, 2015, 888poker will be the host of a one-of-a-kind high roller every Saturday. The name of the new tournament is The Octopus and it will feature a buy-in of $215. The guarantee featured is $25k. As far as the actual numbers go, they're not really high-roller-like, but the tournament is the biggest and most expensive one on the Saturday schedule of the second biggest online poker site, so yes, it is indeed impressive.
According to 888poker, The Octopus will feature a rather unique structure as well: it will be the first 8-handed event offered by the site and it will start off really deep stacks, looking to diminish the luck factor as much as possible. Players will start off 10k chip stacks and the blinds will go up every 25 minutes. There will be a late registration period as well: late-comers will be able to jump in for 4 hours following the start of the tournament, a feature aimed at getting as many of the site's Saturday players involved in the action as possible.
Sign up to 888poker now and give The Octopus a go. Aimed at rewarding player skill, the event offers a $25k prize-pool for a $215 buy-in.

The Octopus is obviously the result of the site's new focus on featuring increased guarantees: it was only a couple of weeks ago that an announcement was made regarding the raising of the guarantees handed out by the site by some $100k every month.
The said increase has impacted a number of the site's existing tournaments. The Sunday Breeze for instance, will now feature a $20k prize-pool instead of its usual $15k one. The Quarterback has been tweaked as well: instead of $25k, it now features a $30k prize-pool. The Midweek Breeze, one of the smaller regular events, now features a $8k prize-pool instead of the usual $7k.
Currently, 888poker are the second biggest online poker operation behind PokerStars, although their active player numbers are dwarfed by the former. The 7-day average for real money ring-game players is 2,000 at the site, although the tournament traffic is bigger. The site has been trying to take over bwin.party for quite some time now and although some progress has been reported in this respect, nothing is certain yet. If the acquisition were to go down as planned though, it would certainly mean a major boost in player-numbers for 888poker.
Register an account at 888poker right now and take advantage of the increased prize-pools! The site has never featured as much guaranteed money as it does now!
