888poker LIVE is set to return to London, staging an 11-day festival at Grosvenor Victoria Casino from October 8-18. The centerpiece is the £1,250 Main Event, which carries a £250,000 guarantee, alongside a packed lineup of side events.
The series opens on October 8 with the £500 Crazy 8, offering a £100,000 guarantee across five starting flights, including a turbo option on the Saturday. Last year’s edition drew 258 entries for a £110,300 prize pool, with Stephen Bean winning £19,603.
A £250 Turbo Dash follows before the £340 Mini Main, which also guarantees £100,000 and runs three starting flights from October 11-13 ahead of a Wednesday final.
Other highlights include the £550 Big Shot on October 13 with £30,000 guaranteed, and the two-day £2,000 High Roller starting October 14 with a £100,000 guarantee. In 2025, Vivian Saliba won the Big Shot for £12,135, while Nuno Duarte claimed the High Roller for £43,510. A charity event, PLO tournaments, and the £550 Dragon (£50,000 guarantee) round out the schedule.
The Main Event begins October 15 with three starting flights, including a turbo option, before players reconvene for Day 2 and a Sunday final with a 30-second shot clock in effect. Last year’s Main Event attracted 367 entries, generating £383,500, with Gang Wang defeating Calogero Morreale heads-up for £86,600.
Players can qualify online through 888poker satellites starting at $0.01, leading to $109 qualifiers that award $2,500 packages covering entry, accommodation, and travel costs. Additional £140 cashout satellites will run throughout the live festival.
