My personal favorite site to grind on, 888poker, has released a series fit for mid-stakes grinders that once again is heavily focused on Mystery Bounty/PKO formats and contains relatively few events, looking to run many day 1s to their main event with is a $109 with a 40k guarantee. I do like the format of these multi-day tournaments on 888 and I seem to do well with the structure of them. You can take a couple shots into day 2, hopefully get in with a stack and then be posied to shoot for mystery bounties when Day 2 starts.

On Sunday the series open with these series openers, which serve as the only tournaments without bounties in the series, keeping with the format of other recent 888 tournament festivals. These openers are great deep-stacked tournaments that you can re-enter in and a great opportunity at a decent score for a mid-stakes grinder in the geo-fenced Ontario poker ecosystem.
