the 888poker LIVE High Stakes Festival will run from April 20 to May 1, with nine events, with buy-ins starting at £150 and going up to £3,000. The series opens with the multi-steal 888poker Cup with a £1,000 buy-in taking place from April 21-24.

The Main Event has three 1 days and unlimited re-entries are allowed for each flight. Players kick off the action with a starting stack of 20,000 plays at tiers of 60 minutes for the Regular Flight and 20 minutes for the Turbo Edition (Day 1C). As soon as the final table is reduced to only five players, the blinds then drop from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. Departure flights begin April 28, with the final action scheduled for May 1.

Those who can’t afford the £2,100 entry fee for the Main Event can enter the tournament for much less via satellites.
