Renovations on the famous Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London force 888poker LIVE to change its most recent event to another venue. Running from August 14 to 25, the Grosvenor Casino Bury New Road is poised to host 888poker LIVE Manchester, a 12-day poker festival benefiting Manchester with London’s loss. This is the first time 888poker LIVE, different from its past UK Poker League (UKPL) visits, will take the front stage in Manchester—a city known for its active music culture and now ready to highlight its poker skill.
Event Highlights and Timetable
Starting local time on August 14 at 5:00 p.m., the festival will feature the £440 No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty event. A £100 Ladies Event beginning at 6:00 p.m. will next follow. Additionally, booking at 8:00 p.m. is a £110 Cash Out Satellite to the Main Event.
Players looking forward to a range of events over the festival include the £340 Big Shot, the £1,650 High Roller, and the £170 Pot- Limit Omaha Bounty. Comprising four starting flights, including a turbo-structured Day 1c, the £1,100 Main Event forms the focal point of the festival. August 21, at noon local time, the first flight will start; the champion will be crowned on August 25. Live updates from the Main Event will be provided by PokerNews, which will cover the first hand to the winner’s crowning in whole.
