After a hugely successful 2024, 888poker has announced its 2025 LIVE schedule, with five stops that kick off in Madrid in January.
From there, the 888poker LIVE team moves to a new stop for 2025 in Glasgow (March), before a sunny stop in Barcelona (May), followed by a trip to the newly renovated London Vic poker room in September. There is one more stop promised on the 2025 calendar, but 888poker is keeping this a mystery for now.
The 2024 season culminated in Coventry in October, where the £500,000 guarantee was smashed by more than £100,000. UK pro Chris Da-Silva scooped his career-best score of £125,000 in the Main Event.
Poker obviously takes center stage at all of these stops, but community is what makes 888poker LIVE stops so unique, and you get the opportunity to play with all the 888poker amassadors (like PokerOrg columnist Nick Eastwood) and other poker personalities in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
