Last September, the 888poker LIVE London Main Event attracted 367 entrants, creating a £383,500 prize pool, well above the advertised £250,000 guarantee. Gang Wang was the last player standing after he defeated Calogero Morreale heads-up; Wang walked away with £86,600 to show for his victory.
In addition to satellites starting from only $0.01, 888poker is running a special challenge for three weeks in September, where those completing the challenge have an opportunity to win one of four $2,500 packages.

Although 888poker is still putting the finishing touches to the London Festival's schedule, players are in for a treat if it follows in the footsteps of the 2025 edition.
PokerNews was on the tournament floor throughout the 888poker LIVE London Festival last year, and it is fair to say it was a roaring success. 888poker ambassadors Vivian Saliba and Nick Eastwood each bagged a title. Saliba took down the £550 Big Shot for £12,135, while Eastwood triumphed in the £220 Closer for £4,860.
