With the euphoric feeling of a successful Kick-Off event in London still lingering, 888poker LIVE is wasting no time in taking the tour on the road. The next stop for the popular tournament series is the beautiful city of Bucharest, Romania at the JW Marriott Hotel. 888poker LIVE will be bringing a nine-tournament festival headlined by a €888 Main Event that comes with a €288,000 guarantee (~ $350,000 USD) all beginning on February 28.

Something For Everyone

While there are plenty of tournaments to choose from the organizers will be looking for the €888 Main Event to be the centerpiece of the week. The tournament has two starting day, with Day 1A taking flight on March 2 and the contest starts players off with 30,000 in chips and 45-minute levels.
