Following the resounding success of the 888poker LIVE Kickoff at Aspers Casino in London, we’re excited to head to Bucharest from February 28, 2018, to March 5, 2018.
As Romania's largest city and its capital, Bucharest showcases a vibrant blend of culture, industry, and finance, and it has quite a rich history spanning nearly six hundred years, making it an intriguing destination for poker enthusiasts.
One unique aspect of this influential capital is that it hasn't yet witnessed the presence of the dedicated 888poker ambassador team that is about to make its mark at the poker tables set within the luxurious JW Marriott Hotel.
Representing Team888 in Bucharest are prominent players including Martin Jacobson, Dominik Nitsche, Sofia Lovgren, Natalie Hof, and the newest recruit, Vivian Saliba, all eager to take on the local competition.
If you enjoy blending your poker experience with cultural immersion and the nightlife, then Bucharest is the perfect spot for you.

Upon reaching the final table stages of both the Main Event and the High Roller, players will be granted four extended time chips to assist them.
