The 888poker LIVE event in Bucharest spanned 10 days, commencing on March 16th. The schedule featured a variety of smaller events leading up to the main attraction.

The Main Event attracted 381 entries across four opening flights, resulting in a competitive field and a substantial prize pool of €190,500.
Razvan Morar, a local Romanian player, emerged victorious in the Main Event, claiming the €37k top prize. Despite starting at a disadvantage during the final table and facing a three-to-one chip deficit in the heads-up showdown against fellow Romanian Florin Elisei, Morar staged a remarkable comeback, eventually seizing all the chips and the coveted top prize.
The final table saw Morar facing adversity earlier on, with his chip stack dwindling to as low as five big blinds. However, strategic play and perseverance allowed him to outlast his opponents and clinch the title.
