Following a successful start to the 2024 season in Madrid, 888poker LIVE is gearing up for its second stop in the heart of Romania. The 888poker branded poker room in Bucharest is set to host a thrilling poker festival from March 16 to 24.
The festival kicks off with the €220 Opening Event, setting the stage for nine days of non-stop poker action. The highlight of the festival, the Main Event, begins on March 20. With one of the most accessible buy-ins at €560 for a tournament of this caliber, the Main Event offers a great opportunity for players of all levels to compete on a grand stage. Four starting days are scheduled from Wednesday, March 20, to Friday, March 22, with late registration open until the start of Day 2 on Saturday, March 23.
For those unable to make a journey to Bucharest, 888poker will provide live coverage of the Main Event on their Twitch channel.
Last year’s tournament saw local hero Viorel Gavrila clinch the Main Event title and a €30,000 prize in a fancy final hand, besting Admir Qinami’s pocket kings with his pocket aces. Despite losing in a brutal fashion, Qinami wasn’t too disappointed as he qualified for the Main Event from a freeroll online on 888poker.
There’s still time to secure your seat at the table with qualifiers online on 888poker, with $1,500 packages up for grabs. These packages not only cover the €560 Main Event buy-in but also include $500 for four nights’ accommodation, $390 for travel expenses, and an exclusive 888poker LIVE kit.
888poker has just released its latest software update, introducing a series of amazing new features and improvements to take their poker playing experience to a new level and make it a more enjoyable gaming platform for players worldwide.
Beyond the Main Event, the festival features a variety of side tournaments to cater to different tastes and bankrolls. The €220 Mystery Bounty, currently one of the most popular tournaments, and the €1,100 High Roller for those looking to up the ante are just some of the highlights awaiting players.
All this excitement unfolds in beautiful Bucharest, often called the “Little Paris of the East.” With its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture, Bucharest provides the perfect backdrop for a poker festival that combines competitive spirit with the 888poker LIVE experience.
