September 2025 Live Poker Series

888poker Wraps Another Successful LIVE Season in London

Running Sep 4 – 14, the stop in London represents the culmination of the official 888poker LIVE season for 2025.  As such, the stop features a rich schedule of events with buy-ins tailored to suit recreational players looking for that major live poker series experience.

At the center of it all is the £1,250 Main Event. Featuring three individual starting flights and unlimited reentries, the tournament comes with a very generous guarantee of £250,000. These events are usually a mixed bag of recreational players and low-stakes grinders and represent a good value.

Built around the Main Event is a very solid schedule of tournaments. One that stands out is the £340 Mini Main, which comes with a guarantee of £100,000. There is also an unavoidable Mystery Bounty event, and even some options for PLO fans.

WSOP Europe Kicks Off in Rozvadov

The World Series of Poker Europe 2025 will be taking place at King’s Casino in Rozvadov from Sep 17 to Oct 8. There are 15 bracelet events on offer. Buy-ins start as low as €350, and there are actually three tournaments with buy-ins under €1,000.

Thus, the 2025 WSOP Europe represents a great opportunity for all players to try and win a bracelet, but especially for those who can’t get to Las Vegas to compete in the summer series. For many, it is a much more affordable alternative.

The €10,350 Main Event is sure to attract many pros, especially from the continent. However, with a €6,000,000 guarantee and many satellites available live and online, it’s still worth trying to get in the mix, even if you are more of a recreational player.

If it is cheaper buy-ins that you’re looking for, this year’s WSOPE brings plenty, such as:

• Event #1 – €1,200 NLH Bounty Hunter (€500,000 GTD)
• Event #2 – €350 NLH King’s Million (€1,000,000 GTD)
• Event #3 – €1,000 Omaha 8-Max (€1,000,000 GTD)
• Event #7 – €550 Colossus (€1,500,000 GTD)
