Two stories with 888Poker in the headline as the online poker giant agrees upon a deal with the World Poker Tour, and 888Live London Kickoff wraps up with victory for Ivelin Ganev.

A partnership between The World Poker Tour (WPT) and 888Poker will result in two new events joining the 2019 WPTDeepStacks (WPTDS) schedule.

888Poker and WPTDS will co-host two European events held at Malta and Portugal, in a new three-year deal between the pair. Like a Japanese restaurant and red bean ice cream, the deal makes perfect sense. The WPT doesn’t possess a solid homegrown tributary leading the fish, whales and sharks from online poker to its brick and mortar cousin. 888Poker just likes to be affiliated with the best brands in the business.
