888Live London news: Tom Hall takes down the main event; action clock a success

A round-up of the action from the 888Live London Festival in Aspers Westfield, Stratford, including news from the High Roller and Main Event.

888Live London has come to a close. The 12-day festival, held at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford, London attracted stamp collectors, people with jars containing used paintbrushes, and some of the world’s greatest poker players, and it was a resounding success.

The 888Live brand doesn’t pack the punch of a PokerStars Championship or a partypoker LIVE MILLIONS, but they carve out their small grotto of light, leading luminaries like Martin Jacobson, Jack Salter, and Ludovic Geilich to their home.

And that’s how it feels at an 888Live event.
