The latest stop on the 888poker LIVE tour has been released, with the popular tour heading to Coventry, United Kingdom, from October 20. The nine-day festival takes place at the Coventry Building Society Arena, home of Championship football team Coventry City, and features a bustling schedule of events for players to get their teeth into.
Online, 888poker is the place to play Mystery Bounty tournaments, so it is fitting that the 888poker LIVE Coventry opening tournament is a £440 buy-in Mystery Bounty affair. You can win a seat to the opening event online at 888poker for only $22 if the £440 buy-in is outside of your bankroll’s constraints.
Several other tournaments are sure to be fiercely-fought over the course of the festival, not least the £110 Ladies Event, the £2,500 High Roller, and the £5,000 Super High Roller.
However, it is the £888 buy-in 888poker LIVE Coventry Main Event that has everyone excited, not least because it boasts a £500,000 guarantee on its prize pool.
Buy into the Main Event direct or win your way in from only $0.01 online at 888poker, and you’ll sit down behind a stack of 50,000 chips. The levels on the first three starting flights last 45 minutes but reduce to 20 minutes for the turbo-structured Day 1D.
Day 2 sees ten hour-long levels, with those 60-minute levels continuing on the third and final day. The action is kept moving by a 30-second shot clock being in play from Day 2 onwards.
In addition to being able to follow all of the 888poker LIVE Coventry Main Event action via 888poker’s Twitch channel and social media accounts, you will find blow-for-blow updates right here at PokerNews because we are sending our industry-leading team of live reporters to the Midlands to bring you all of the Main Event updates you can handle.
