Leading online and live poker operator 888poker will return to London for another edition of its popular Live Weekend at the Grosvenor Casino Victoria. From February 17 to 20, 2022, the city’s longest-running poker venue will host an 888poker live event for the second time this year.
Commonly known as The Vic in the heart of the English capital, the venue recently hosted the popular 888poker LIVE series in January 2022, which became a smashing success. During last month’s festival, the brand also revealed Chris Eubank Jr as its newest cultural ambassador. The professional boxer will be back in London for a special knockout sit and go with a lucrative bounty on his head.
UK-based players can win their entry to the special sit and go by taking part in daily freerolls on the 888 poker platform if they have already made a deposit. As of January 29 and until February 11, the Chris Eubank Jr Knockout Freerolls kick off at 9 pm UK time and award three tickets for the invite-only sit and go.
There are 45 seats available and 39 of them will be given away to the 888 freeroll qualifiers. On February 18, the £10,000 guaranteed Bounty tournament takes place at The Vic. The final five survivors in a shootout format will be joined by Eubank Jr on the six-handed final table and there will be a massive £10,000 bounty on his head.
