The guarantee for the first 888Live Main Event in London back in November last year was $250,000, but that was bolstered to $280,291 by the end of registration.
February’s visit to Rozvadov was even more spectacular, with the $320,000 guarantee smashed and an incredible $439,419 in the prize pool for everyone who finished in the money.
But 888poker is being even more ambitious across 12 days of tournament poker at the 888Live Barcelona Festival, with over €700,000 on offer at Gran Casino de Barcelona.
One player who will be chomping at the bit for action to begin is Catalin Pop, who took down the 888Live Main Event in Rozvadov, meaning he also won a seat to the Barcelona showpiece.
