888poker's Ontario-based customers thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the inaugural XL Autumn Series Ontario festival, with thousands of poker players buying into the 33 major events and 27 side events. 888poker guaranteed it would award at least C$226,300 via the 60 prize pools, but the fantastic support of the Ontario poker community meant the site paid out C$253,040 when all was said and done.
A cool C$50,000 of that sum stemmed from the C$109 buy-in Main Event. A field of 374 unique players purchased 76 re-entries between them, for an impressive turnout of 450 players.
