Last year’s 888Live London
At the first 888Live Make It Big festival at Aspers Casino in London, 21-year-old Hong Kong-born Ka Him Li won the £880 Main Event after cutting a heads-up deal with Shah Raza. Li won £45,300 and his first trophy. Among the 36 players to cash were 888poker Ambassador Kara Scott, Michael Mizrachi and Leo McLean. There were 288 entries in total, creating a £228,096 prize pool. Meanwhile, French player Eric Le Goff triumphed over Tom Middleton in the High Roller for £30,000. Since that first London event, 888Live’s guarantees and player numbers have steadily increased.
