888poker LIVE heads back to Aspers Casino in Stratford, London for the 888poker LIVE Kickoff – our very first live event of 2019! As always, we have both the 888 Shot Clock in effect, as well as the Big Blind Ante – which speeds up the game, allowing players to see more hands.
The series will take place from 7th February till 10th February. It features a very affordable £440 buy-in single event, boasting a whopping £120,000 guarantee.
Not only have we matched the GTD prize money from 2018’s Kickoff event, but we’re also giving away a 2019 50th Anniversary World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event package to the ultimate champ!
As the exclusive site to qualify for WSOP Main Event tickets, outside of the USA, all 888poker players will have the chance to possibly satellite their way in, for as little as 1 cent!

Bros Vs Pros Makes a Second Appearance
In December 2018, we introduced the Brits to Bros Vs Pros to great aplomb! The promotion allowed one lucky player to win an 888poker LIVE London package.
They also got the opportunity to bring two of their Bros along for the ride, bag tickets to a Premier League match and £1,000 to play in an exclusive cash game.
For Bros Vs Pros II, we put the same package up for grabs. The lucky winner this time around is 29-year-old Bury-man, Adam Conroy, who gets to paint London red with Bros, Tom Mason and Josh Veasey.
It certainly is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take on some of the most well-known poker players in the world – including several 888poker ambassadors.
All-time online tournament winner, Englishman, will be in attendance as well as 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event Champ, Martin Jacobson. Rounding out Team888 will be cash game specialist.
"We are free-rolling with just 77p ($1) at stake,” they (Adam, Tom and Josh) agree. "But we are not just going to make up the numbers. There will be top players from around Britain and abroad.”
The road to winning the package was a hard-fought 2-hour heads-up battle for Adam but, in the end, well worth it.
He went on to add, "888poker host brilliant value-for-money events so this will be on everyone's radar."
We couldn’t have said it any better.
