888poker LIVE has announced dates for six festivals taking place across Europe next year, kicking off with the 11-day 888poker LIVE Madrid event at the stunning Casino Gran Madrid. The tour will also have events in London, Barcelona and Bucharest in Romania.
The 888poker LIVE Madrid festival starts on January 13 with 14 different tournaments on the schedule, all taking place at the bustling city centre casino. The schedule highlight is undoubtedly the €888 buy-in Main Event which comes with a €300,000 guaranteed prize pool. The Main Event boasts a very player-friendly structure with an 88,000 starting stack, 50-minute levels from Day 1 onwards and unlimited re-entries.
Other tournament highlights include the €220 buy-in 888poker LIVE Opening Event which features four starting flights including a Day 1d turbo. There is also a €2,200 High Roller, Omaha Pot Limit tournament, €55 buy-in Ladies Event and €100 Last Chance. Of course, no festival worthy of the name is complete without a Mystery Bounty these days and the 888poker LIVE edition will not disappoint. The €150 + €150 + €30 buy-in tournament runs over two days, starting on January 15.
888poker LIVE sponsored several Circuito Nacional de Poker stops in Spain last year but this is the first full-blown 888poker LIVE festival in the country since 2021 and is set to attract players from all over Europe and beyond.
At the last 888poker LIVE Madrid in November, Spanish player Abel Gongora took down the special 888poker 20th Anniversary Edition Main Event for €70,000. Gongora dominated the final table en route to victory eliminating five of his opponents. There were 374 entries creating a prize pool of nearly €350,000 in the €1,100 buy-in event.

Further 888poker LIVE dates in 2023
Following the Madrid stop, the 888poker LIVE tour will be heading to London’s iconic Poker Room venue at the Victoria Casino. First up is the 888poker LIVE Weekend in February, a little taster for the excitement to come at the main 888poker LIVE London festival in April.
The tour will be back at the Vic in October but before that will be heading to Barcelona in May and Bucharest in August. Barcelona is the third festival of the year for 888poker. The Catalan capital is a hugely popular destination for poker players, combining a rich culture and beautiful architecture with great beaches and lively nightlife. Bucharest is also a very popular stop - nicknamed the Little Paris of the East, the Romanian capital also has a long and rich cultural history with tons of art museums and landmark structures.
888poker LIVE will wrap up its European season with its final London stop in October.
