Skiing in Austria; golfing in Marbella; wine-tasting in Tallinn.

Every year 888poker spices up its 888Live events with a day of additional “off the felt” activities for its online qualifiers.

Those above were just a few of the excursions enjoyed last year by recreational players from around the continent.

At the upcoming stop on the Costa Brava in Spain in May, it’s all about the sea. 

And you could win an exclusive $1,700 prize package with 888poker and PokerListings for a fun-filled weekend of poker and water sports.

The PokerListings Shortcut

You can qualify for all 888poker events through the 888 steps system. The lowest buy-in in these is just 1c but of course it’s a long road to make it all the way into the direct qualifier and then the actual event.

If you want a shortcut, here’s your ticket.

Create an 888poker account via PokerListings, deposit a minimum of $30 before April 20 and you’ll be eligible to play in the Pokerlistings Exclusive 888Live Costa Brava giveaway.

The winner of this qualifier gets a full $1,700 prize package for 888Live Costa Brava consisting of the $400 buy-in, four nights at the hotel plus $450 for travel costs. 

If you come second or third there’ll be a consolation prize of $200 and $100, respectively.

The PokerListings Exclusive 888Live Costa Brava Giveaway plays out on April 23 at 9 PM CET and is under tournament ID 78865838 under the Tournaments tab on 888poker.

Kara Scott is in.

What sports activities will you get to participate in? We’re pretty sure they’ll be similar to this.

You’ll also get the chance to play and chat with Kara Scott.

The new ambassador of 888poker recently final-tabled the season-opening event at the new, branded poker room at the Aspers Casino in London and she’s eager to make it two in a row.

“I’ll absolutely be playing the tournament,” says Scott. “I’m lucky that I’ll be in Spain to host the event, but there should also be enough time for me to sit down at the tables.”

If you still can’t get enough poker the 888Live Local Series will also be on the Costa Brava at the Casino Lloret de Mar simultaneously with a $220 event.
