GIBRALTAR, August 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- 888poker, the poker offering from award-winning 888 Holdings plc., announces their partnership with the London Poker Circuit.

The new relationship will offer members of both 888poker and the London Poker Circuit an extended poker experience that integrates online poker and live poker to bring larger prize pools and bigger poker events.

To launch the new partnership, LPC and 888poker have created a monthly 888poker Super Stack poker event. The tournament will take place at the end of every month at Kensington Close Hotel and will boast a prize pool of GBP30,000.

Members of the LPC and 888poker can qualify for the 888poker Super Stack by playing online qualifiers at 888poker.com and live super satellites at Kensington Close Hotel.

Players will receive points for their tournament play both online and live, which will go towards the final leader board. Top 10 on the board will win a private sit n'go and three course meal at the Kensington Close Hotel.

"The London poker circuit is the preeminent destination for live poker. 888poker looks forward to adding our online offering to the LPC experience. Together we will be able to provide a quality and unique poker experience that will engage all the forms in which you can play the game.'
