To celebrate the special day, Pacific Poker hosts a series of tournaments with $20,000 in guaranteed prize pools each on every day surrounding the 8th of August. The buy-in to these tournaments is only $50 + $5, but if you feel really lucky, you can also qualify for as little as $2 + $0.20.
The celebrations are concluded with a massive $88,888 guaranteed tournament, and to draw an even bigger crowd to the tournament, the buy-in has been lowered to just $88+$8 instead of the usual $120+$12. Of course, if you want to qualify for an even smaller amount, satellites are available from $0.88+$0.08.
Other than the large tournaments, players with 88 FPPs (Frequent Player Points) get a chance to win a free seat in the 888.comPoker Open in Maidstone, England in October.
