After a huge success with their rakeLESS Sundays, 888poker are once again bringing extra value for MTT grinders by taking their concerns about rake seriously.  

On Sunday March 24 they will host three Rake or Break tournaments. The concept is simple but effective, they have big target prizepool but if they do not meet their goal the players will instead get the rake they paid refunded to them. 

It's not a guaranteed prizepool so if it doesn't hit the target you will be playing for the prizepool collected. However, if the target is reached the following week a bigger target prizepool will be set. 

The first three tournaments have $15,000 ($55 buy-in), $25,000 ($109 buy-in) and $100,000 ($320 buy-in) targets respectively. You can also qualify for all three of them now via satellites. 

Event Buy-In Time
Rake or Break $100,000 Target Main Event $320 March 24: 18:00 GMT
Rake or Break $115,000 Target Monsoon $55 March 24: 18:30 GMT
Rake or Break $25,000 Target Challenge $109 March 24: 19:35 GMT
