The penultimate stop of the 2023 888poker LIVE season is right around the corner, which means time is running out if you want to win your way into the Main Event for as little as $0.01. Perhaps best of all, the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on the ground for the Main Event, meaning you may get to see your name displayed on our famous pages!
888poker LIVE Bucharest takes place between August 8-14, and features eight action-packed events for you to get your teeth into. The festival kicks off on August 8 with the first of three flights for the €220 No-Limit Hold'em Opening Event. Last year's equivalent tournament saw Tudor Scriminti come out on top and pad his bankroll with €6,500.
Other events include a €115 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, a €230 No-Limit Hold'em Mystery Bounty event, a €55 No-Limit Hold'em Ladies Event, the €330 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Big Shot, and the €165 No-Limit Hold'em Closer, which brings the curtain down on proceedings.
Of course, there is also an 888poker LIVE Bucharest Main Event, which is the tournament every player wants to win. Costing €888 to enter and featuring four Day 1s, including a turbo-structured flight, the Main Event should be very well attended if last year's tournament is anything to go by.
In 2022, some 272 players created a €192,670 prize pool. The tournament ended in a heads-up deal between runner-up Alexandru Arnautu and Bulgaria's Slaven Popov. Arnautu banked €33,000, and Popov €35,185 plus a package to another 888poker LIVE event.
Other former 888poker LIVE Bucharest Main Event champions include 2018 winner Andrei Racolta (€71,042), and 2021 champion Razvan Belea (€50,000). Will your name be listed as the 2023 winner?
