LONDON, January 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Leading online poker room 888poker will launch its 2015 Live Local Series this month, at London's Aspers Casino Westfield.

The event, which will run from January 30th - February 2nd with a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool, is the first of a brand new Series designed to bring the excitement of 888poker's 'live' experience to its players' doorsteps. Based at a selection of local casinos, with affordable buy-ins ranging from $200 - $500, the tournaments will be easily accessible to hundreds of 888poker players the world over.

Members are able to win seats to the local events through 888poker's online satellite tournaments, with buy-ins as little as 1?, or through entering the tournament qualifiers directly. Registration will also be open to all players via the hosting venues.

Commenting on the response to the event, Head of Poker at Aspers, John Scanlon: "It's been absolutely unbelievable. With over 100 players qualified in the first two weeks, this event looks like it will sell out.
