Dominik Nitsche, one of 888poker's ambassadors, said he is looking forward to going back to London where he plans to play in the juiciest cash games, whereas Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot said he is most interested in the WSOP portion of this tour, "My number one event of the year, as always, is the WSOP Main Event sponsored by 888poker. I love this tournament, and the $888 Crazy 8s is also a huge event. I think I fired three bullets this year. Hopefully, I can get in for only one in 2018, but the tournament is so damn awesome that I'll fire as many times as need be."
If you want to join the 2018 LIVE tour and wish to qualify, there are satellites for all the Main Events available online at the 888poker site.
Nitsche said, "There are plenty of satellites online, so you should obviously be looking to take advantage of those. It's always better to get into an event for cheap. If you have qualified and this is your first time playing a major tournament, try to remember that this is still the same game as it is online. Try to play well and most importantly remember that you will probably lose. After all, it's a poker tournament. Try to have fun and look at it as a learning experience."
