888poker continues returning to the live poker felt and is once again joining forces with Grosvenor Victoria Casino. The site is bringing players 11 days of big buy-in poker with the 888poker Live High Stakes Festival running April 20 to May 1 at the Vic Casino in London.
The £2,100 Main Event and a £3,000 High Roller highlight the series action. Along with plenty of live poker, 888 is also promising opportunities for online poker players to get in the action.
888poker returns to UK
The High Stakes Festival becomes the latest live series from 888. The company has run two previous festivals at the Vic over the last few months.
The Grosvenor Victoria (aka The Vic) is one of the most celebrated casinos in London. Players can snag a seat in the High Stakes Festival Main Event via online qualifiers starting at just one cent.
Players can buy in for that tiny amount and work their way up to a $109 satellite. Competitors can also register directly into the satellite.
All satellites and qualifiers are open to players in the United Kingdom only.
A look at the series
The High Stakes Festival includes nine events with buy-ins ranging from £110 to £3,000. The £1,000 888poker Cup kicks off the series on April 21 with £110 satellites getting underway on April 20.
Players with lower bankrolls can also check out a few events with smaller buy-ins. The £444 Big Shot begins on April 24 with a £200 Pot Limit Omaha event getting started on April 27.
A £150 seniors event and a £225 Mystery Bounty also close out the series on May 1. Numerous satellites are scheduled throughout the series as well.
The Main Event features two regular starting flights with Day 1C playing out in turbo format. Players will also find unlimited re-entry with registration open through Day 2.
The event will also use player clocks and time bank cards. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.
