Welcome to the 888Live Tallinn $30,000 Guaranteed Main Event
Welcome to PokerNews' live coverage of the 2016 888Live Tallinn $30,000 Guaranteed Main Event at the luxurious Olympic Park Hotel in Tallinn.
In about 30 minutes, play is set to begin with over 55 players already registered, including 888poker Ambassador Kara Scott. Surviving players from today's action will compete for the chance to be crowned the latest 888Live Main Event winner in one final day tomorrow, August 27 at 12:00 p.m. The Main Event features a reasonable $440/€400 buy-in, while offering a deep structure with players kicking off the action with 25,000 starting chips and blind levels increasing every 30 minutes.
Players can reenter into the Main Event up to one-time during the late-registration period which ends at the conclusion of level 8.
Many online players qualified into the Main Event package with a package valued at $1,250. Yesterday online qualifiers were lavished with an 888poker welcome kit and enjoyed welcome drinks. Later on in the night, the casino hosted a special freeroll which awarded five seats to the Main Event for friends of players that won packages. This morning, many players witnessed the delights of Tallinn in a special city tour.
On top of the prize pool, players can win special prizes for nailing down the first royal flush, the first full-house, or being eliminated on the stone cold bubble.
As an additional perk, online qualifiers that are eliminated out of the Main Event will also be able to walk away with something in a special bounty freeroll awarding $5,000 in prizes on August 27 at 1:00 p.m. Tomorrow evening, players will be able to dance the night away at a VIP party at VaBank nightclub.
