888poker Live Returns to London as High Stakes Poker Festiva
By RTR Jamie
After hosting a 888poker live festival in January, the highly rated poker room will be returning to the VIC Casino for another live event, this time as the 888poker Live High Stakes Festival!
The 888poker festival hosted in January this year was a huge success, with no surprise they have decided to return with something special for its higher-stakes players.
The festival is set to take place on April 20th to May 1st 2022 at one of the most reputable casinos in London, The Grosvenor Victoria Casino, a legendary casino in Europe.
The Festival will feature a £2,100 buy-in Main Event with three Day 1 flights, as well as several other events, including a £3,000 high-roller for those looking for more high-stakes action. Buy-ins to these events range from £150 to £3,000.
The 888poker cup kicks off on April 21, with a buy-in of £1,000 with the winner will being crowned on April 24.
There are three starting flights with unlimited re-entries during the late registration period for the festival's £2,100 Main Event. But if this is a little out of your price range you can always head to the £225 buy-in cashout satellite events running at The VIC from April 20 to April 26.
Or, you can qualify for the event through the online satellites taking place on the 888poker site. Just look for the ‘Live Events’ tab in the tournament lobby and find the ‘888poker Live London High Stakes Festival Main Event Qualifier’. It is £109 buy-in for the satellite events or you can get there through their lower stake satellite events with buy-ins starting from 1p!
There is something for everyone at this festival, 888poker will be hosting a £150 Senior’s event and ‘Mystery Bounty’ event the day after the main event has found its winner, with a buy-in of £225.
As you know, this is not the first time that 888poker has hosted a poker series event at The VIC in London. Last year in October was the first time they were able to in a while due to the pandemic rule and regulations that were imposed.
During this mini-series live weekend in London the Main Event had a buy-in of £444, perhaps a little trial for 888poker to tease its players before announcing the event that took place in January and the high-stakes festival that will take place very soon.
