Our last live series in Barcelona, Spain, smashed it, and we’re doing it all over again in the UK with the 888poker LIVE Manchester Series! Originally planned to take place at the London VIC, the new venue promises to deliver the highest level of entertainment and a quality poker tournament series.

From 14 through 25 August, we’ll be giving the City and United footy fans a run for their money at the poker tables at Grosvenor Casino’s Bury New Road in Manchester, UK.

Manchester is a diverse and dynamic city known for its various architecture, from Victorian to contemporary. It's also brought us musical behemoths, like Oasis, the Smiths, the Stone Roses, and the Happy Mondays, to name a few!

So, once you’ve hit the tables, there’ll be plenty to keep you occupied both on and off the felt.

The series’ highlight is the £1,100 buy-in 888poker LIVE Manchester Main Event, with four Day 1s – that’s four chances to punch your ticket to Day 2, happening on 24 August!

  • 21/8 --- Main Event Day 1A @ 12PM
  • 22/8 --- Main Event Day 1B @ 1PM
  • 23/8 --- Main Event Day 1C @ 12PM
  • 23/8 --- Main Event Day 1D @ 8PM

The final day of action will take place on Sunday, 25 August.

Check out the schedule below for a complete list of all events.
