Get your planning books out as 888poker LIVE has announced its 2020 schedule for its live poker tour.
The tour will be returning to many familiar locations including London, Bucharest, Sochi, and Tallinn along with a new stop in Madrid. In addition, 888poker LIVE will once again be partnering with the Battle of Malta and most importantly with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for the sixth straight year.
888poker LIVE 2020 Schedule Details
The 888poker LIVE tour kicks off with a new stop in the Spanish capital of Madrid at the Casino Gran Via on Jan. 23 to Feb. 3.
The festival guarantees €1 million including the lucrative 888poker LIVE Madrid €888 Main Event featuring a massive €800,000 guarantee. There are plenty of satellites and feeder tournaments already running at 888poker where players can win packages for as low as $0.01.
A couple of days later, the tour will head over to the British capital of London at the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City for the 888poker LIVE London Weekend on Feb. 5-9. Expect many players from the gaming industry to play in this event as it coincides with one of the industry's biggest conventions the 2020 London Affiliate Conference (LAC).
The following month on March 23-29, the festival heads to the Romanian capital of Bucharest where you might not see Dracula but should instead witness a big poker festival. Last year, the €300,000 guarantee for the Main Event was smashed when 505 entrants generated a €387,638 with Darius Neagoe shipping the event for a cool €62,000 and a 2019 WSOP Main Event package valued at $12,600.
It's back to Spain, this time to one of the tour's most popular spots in sunny Barcelona for an action-packed festival on May 14-25 at the Casino Barcelona. The casino is located literally on the beach giving players a chance to enjoy some Mediterranean sunshine while not battling it out on the felts.
2020 WSOP Main Event & Crazy Eights Qualifiers Running at 888poker
Players from around the world will join plenty of 888poker qualifiers at the WSOP at the Rio Convention Center in Las Vegas. 888poker is not only sponsoring the popular Crazy Eights tournament at the end of June but also will once again be running plenty of qualifiers for the 2020 WSOP Main Event on July 1-14 as well.
The tour then heads back east to Casino Sochi on August 6-14 for another fantastic festival where players will be able to enjoy the delights of one of the most talked-about Russian resorts.
Not too much later, the festival returns to Olympic Park Casino in the Estonian capital of Tallinn on Sept. 1-7 for the first time since 2016. Tallinn has become a hotbed of poker activity and this festival is expected to not only draw in plenty of qualifiers but plenty of players from Scandinavian and Baltic countries as well.
Players are then in for a special treat as 888poker will once again be heading to the Battle of Malta at Casino Malta in October. The Battle of Malta Main Event more than doubled its €1,000,000 guarantee last year after attracting 4,657 entries to create a massive €2,258,645 prize pool.
As was the case in 2019, the festival will wrap up the year back at Aspers Casino in London on Nov. 16-29.
888poker LIVE Partnership with CNP Spain
This is not all as 888poker LIVE will be partnering with the CNP Spain tour in 2020 for five local stops in Spain including Valencia (Feb. 17-23), Malaga (April 20-26), Sevilla (June 15-21), Alicante (Sept 7-13), and Madrid (Nov. 13-23).
