Sunny Seville Gears Up to Host the Latest 888poker Noche de Poker El Festival

The third leg of the 2026 888poker Noche de Poker El Festival sees the fledgling tour head to Seville in southern Spain, where the only thing hotter than the poker action is the weather. The mercury is currently 38°C or 101°F, if you prefer, so be sure to pack sunscreen if you’re jetting off to play any of the events in Seville.

Noche de Poker El Festival Seville runs from August 31 to September 6 at the Casino Admiral Sevilla. The festival kicks off with the €150 No-Limit Hold’em Opening Tournament at 5:00 p.m. local time on August 31. That wraps up on September 2 after a pair of Day 1s.

Also on the schedule are events such as the €150 Pot-Limit Omaha, €110 No-Limit Hold’em Voyage, an €888 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller, a €220 Mystery Bounty, with a €110 No-Limit Hold’em Closer bringing the curtain down on proceedings on September 6.

Noche de Poker El Festival Sevilla Schedule

Sandwiched between all those side events is the eagerly anticipated Noche de Poker El Festival Sevilla Main Event. Commanding a €440 buy-in, the Seville Main Event features four flights, a Day 2, and a Day 3.

All Main Event players sit down with 50,000 chips, and play to 45-minute levels on Day 1A, B, and C, with the turbo-structured Day 1d’s levels reduced to 20 minutes. The levels on Day 2 return to 45 minutes until the final table is reached, with the final table playing to a 60-minute clock until a worthy champion emerges.

To keep the action flowing, the Main Event sees a big blind ante in play from the start, and a 30-second shot clock is in play in the Main Event from Day 2 onward.

Although online satellites are only available to 888poker customers in Spain and Portugal, there are €98 buy-in live satellites to the Main Event during the festival, giving you the chance to win your way into it for less than a quarter of the target tournament’s buy-in.

If you fancy playing some poker in a city renowned for its vibrant, lively social street culture, then heading to the 888poker Noche de Poker El Festival Sevilla could be the place to visit. There are worse places in the world to find yourself if your plan on becoming an 888poker LIVE champion doesn’t go to plan.
