888poker LIVE London

The iconic Grosvenor Victoria Casino is set to be packed to the rafters with poker players between April 12-23 because the 888poker LIVE London Festival is in town on those dates. "The Vic" has hosted countless top-tier poker festivals over the years, and the London venue is primed to crown yet more worthy champions.

888LIVE London features more than a dozen satellites and tournaments with buy-ins from £140 up to £2,000. The festival gets underway on April 12 with one such satellite, a £150 buy-in affair that awards seats in the Mystery Bounty and Mini 888 events.

A Live Mystery Bounty Event

Your first chance to sink your teeth into a money-awarding event comes on April 13 when the first of four flights in £240 Mystery Bounty tournament kick-off. 888poker is the online poker site that has embraced the Mystery Bounty format, so it makes perfect sense that they are running one in the live poker arena.

Expect a few hundred budding poker players to take a shot in the £440 No-Limit Hold'em Mini 888 event. Similarly-sized 888poker tournaments have proven popular ever since 888poker dived into the live poker world, and this tournament should be no different.

The high rollers reading this article should keep April 19-20 free because a £2,000 High Roller is scheduled. Last time 888poker ran a similar high roller event in London, Jack Hardcastle came out on top of a 96-strong crowd and banked £57,098.

Big Turnout Expected For the 888LIVE London Main Event

Of course, it is the £1,100 buy-in 888LIVE London Festival Main Event that has everyone excited, and this is the tournament PokerNews' industry-leading live reporting team will be on the ground reporting from start to finish. There are a trio of starting flights between April 20-21, including a turbo-structured Day 1, with the champion crowned some time on April 23.

Main Event satellites are available at The Vic and online at 888poker, with online satellites starting at a super-low £0.01! Head to 888poker now and turn a penny into a shot at the big time.

888poker ran a £1,000 buy-in event almost exactly a year ago, which was part of the London High Roller Festival. Some 259 players bought into it, and Lorenc Boci outlasted them all. Boci received a cool £50,582 after a heads-up deal with runner-up Francis Obadun (£52,000)
