Everything you need for a great poker trip.
PokerStars is proud to introduce Season 1 of the UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT)
a brand new series of live poker tournaments across both countries. Satellite qualifiers are running now, with prize packages up for grabs that give you everything you need for a great poker trip.
The UKIPT will take in the best locations on the poker map. Highlights include a stop in Galway for the always-popular Irish Poker Championship, and a trip to Nottingham at the renowned Dusk Till Dawn poker room. All roads will lead towards the Grand Final in London, October 2010 – held as part of the Season 7 European Poker Tour London festival. See the schedule below to find out about the next event.
There are added bonuses for players at all UKIPT stops. Events with a £500 + £50 buy-in (Manchester, Coventry and Nottingham) have a guaranteed prize pool of £100,000, and Irish events with a €1,000 + €100 buy-in (Killarney and Dublin) will have a €250,000 guarantee. The winner of each leg will also be awarded with a seat at the London Grand Final. What’s more, you’ll be playing for UKIPT Leader Board points at every event, with prizes for players who perform best at the end of the season. Go to the UKIPT Leader Board page to find out more.
With so many events on the schedule, the UKIPT is perfect for players in the region – no matter where you live, you’ll never be too far from an event. This is the local poker tour you’ve been waiting for, and it’s going to be massive.
