For the next 888poker LIVE stop, we head to the beautiful, majestic city of Sochi, nestled on the coast of the Black Sea.
The series will run from 8th of August through the 15th at the Casino Poker Club Sochi, boasting a massive overall Prize pool of $1,000,000 and a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event.
Not only is there a massive guarantee up for grabs, but the 888poker LIVE Sochi Main Event winner will also receive the very first 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event package, sponsored by us.
What’s So Special about Sochi?
As part of the Caucasian Riviera, Sochi is one of the very few places in Russia with a subtropical climate, which means warm to hot summers and mild winters. We’ll be heading there in August when the weather will be perfect for adding some sightseeing to a week of playing poker.
The Dolphinarium "Riviera" Amusement Park boasts thrilling rides that can compete with the excitement of turn of a river card. Sochi National Park has a plethora of endangered species that would rival the wide variety of poker players at any table. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do.
Please note that some players may need a visa to enter Russia, so please check your status before packing your bags!
But first, let’s look at what’s on offer at 888poker LIVE Sochi.
