At 1 p.m. local time, the flagship tournament of the 2019 888poker LIVE Bucharest festival in cooperation with PokerFest Romania kicks off at the five-star InterContinental Bucharest and provides high expectations with a guaranteed prize pool of �300,000. A total of four starting days are featured with a buy-in of �888 and poker enthusiasts from near and far are expected to join the action in the capital of Romania.

One year ago, back then at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel, it was local player Andrei Racolta that lifted the trophy after besting a field of 469 entries to take home $86,700 for his efforts. Whether or not Racolta will be back in action to defend his title remains to be seen, but there is one special incentive for all participants that makes the trip to Bucharest even more interesting. The winner of the 2019 888poker LIVE Bucharest Main Event will also receive a package for the 2019 WSOP Main Event, courtesy of WSOP sponsor 888poker.

The tournament features a 30-second shot clock and levels of 40 minutes in the first three regular heats, the turbo heat 1d provides levels of 20 minutes each. Unlimited re-entries and the late registration remains open for the first eight levels, each Day 1 will play 12 levels. On the final table, the players can look forward to a level duration of 60 minutes.
