Online poker is the place to be for poker players this year, and 888poker is offering up another tournament series for its players on the international stage.

The last one was the 888poker Freezeout Series, a schedule of 24 tournaments that played out over two weeks in June with $665K in guarantees.

The one just announced, however, is one of 888poker’s strongest offerings. The Millions Superstorm will offer 480 individual tournaments with $8 million guaranteed, and $1 million of that will entice players to compete in the Main Event.
