888poker heads to Aspers Casino in Stratford, London from November 21st to December 1st and brings with it a massive 888poker LIVE London Festival Main Event that has £500,000 guaranteed. You could be playing in this tournament for free thanks to PokerNews and 888poker.

The 888poker LIVE London Festival Main Event features five Day 1s to choose from, the first taking place on November 28th and Day 1E, a turbo structured flight, running on November 30th.

What to Expect From the 888poker LIVE London Festival Main Event

The last time the 888poker LIVE London Festival Main Event took place at Aspers it featured a £400,000 guaranteed prize pool that was blown out of the water. A total of 656 entries were processed and a £649,440 prize pool created.

This was shared among the top 72 finishers, with the likes of Orpen Kisacikoglu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Benny Glaser, David Peters, John Cynn, Ana Marquez, and Antoine Labat make it into the money, the latter finishing third.

James Williams was crowned champion after defeating Derek Lawless heads-up and secured £121,000, leaving Lawless to bank the £85,000 consolation prize. Maybe it will be you who emerges victorious this time around?
