888poker LIVE
888poker’s flagship tour visits key locations in Europe. For 2024, there are five stops on the schedule, each spanning of week of poker action.
The first event kicks off in the Spanish capital of Madrid, before heading to Romania’s capital of Bucharest in March. The festival returns to Spain for a May stop in Barcelona before two UK events to finish the series: London in August, and Coventry in October.
Each stop will host a main event, usually with a buy-in around €800 to €1200, usually with multiple Day 1 flights. But there’s always a spread of other events too, usually with a high-roller (often two to three times the size of the Main), plus smaller Opening Day and Turbo events.
Other events to look out for at these stops include a Ladies event, and a cheaper Closer on the final weekend. Also keep eyes out for a Mystery Bounty tournament, which are fast becoming a staple of 888’s live stops.
