OSS XL 2026: Where the Action Peaks

The $50 million+ OSS XL series is one of online poker's most expansive tournament programs, and its highest-stakes chapter arrives September 21-28 in the form of Second Mortgage Week.

Americas Cardroom today confirmed the return of the Nosebleed Stakes concept within its flagship series, bringing 10 elite tournaments across five playing days with buy-ins ranging from $5,200 to $25,500.

OSS XL by the Numbers

• Over $60,000 in added cash and tickets via three leaderboard levels
• 10 Second Mortgage Week Nosebleed Stakes events embedded in the series

Main Events Run Alongside High-Stakes Action

The integration of Second Mortgage Week into OSS XL means elite events share the spotlight with massive guaranteed Main Events. On September 27, Day 1B of the $2.5 million guaranteed $2,650 Main Event and the $2 million guaranteed $1,050 Main Event are in progress, while the $500,000 guaranteed $66 buy-in Main Event advances to Day 2. The $25,500 NLH 8-Max, the week's largest buy-in event, runs on the same day.

Formats and Final-Day Schedule

Second Mortgage Week covers No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha in both 6-max and 8-max formats. The series closes September 28 with a $15,400 NLH 8-Max and a $5,200 NLH 6-Max R/A event.

Hole-Card Replays Add Lasting Value

Americas Cardroom Pro Chris Moneymaker noted the replay feature as a unique extension of the event's value. Every final table is available for replay with hole cards exposed, offering fans and aspiring players a chance to study how top professionals like Alex Foxen and David Peters approach the biggest stages in online poker.
