888poker LIVE Madrid

Fans of the 888poker LIVE tour only have two weeks to wait before the first stop of the 2024 season shuffles up and deals. 888poker LIVE Madrid runs from January 22-29 at the Gran Via casino in beautiful Madrid and if last year is anything to go by, 888poker players are in for a real treat in the Spanish capital.

The 888poker LIVE Madrid festival gets underway on January 22 with the first of three flights in the €220 buy-in Opening Event. Last year's event attracted 373 entrants, and James Anthony outlasted them all, kicking off the festival with a €17,000 win.

Some of the other events that are sure to capture the imagination of players heading to Madrid include the €2,000 High Roller event. In 2023, it was a Polish one-two in the respective event, with Michal Janczarski defeating fellow countryman Marcin Puczylowski heads-up to capture a first-place prize worth €24,865.

Of course, the showpiece tournament of the 888poker LIVE Madrid Festival is the €888 buy-in Main Event. Romania's Adrian Garcia is one player who should be in Madrid for this tournament because he is the reigning champion. Marin came out on top of a 514-strong field and reeled in €92,000 of the €394,544 prize pool, which had blown the €300,000 guarantee out of the water.

This year's 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event has four flights, including a turbo-structured Day 1D, and PokerNews' live reporting team will be on the tournament floor throughout the Main Event, from the first pitched cards to the champion lifting the trophy aloft.
