UKIPT London

PokerStars descended on London earlier today with the first session of its £700+£70 UKIPT Main Event.

The five day tournament is expected to attract some of Europe’s top grinders and the easily surpass the £250,000 guarantee.

Indeed, the organisers have been so keen to ensure each player is adequately catered for that they decided to spread the event across two locations.

While the bulk of the tournament will take place inside the famous Vic poker room, PokerStars will also make use of its new card room inside the Hippodrome Casino.

This year’s UKIPT festival will merge seamlessly with EPT London’s Main Event which commences on Sunday, March 10.

Day 1A kicked off earlier today and we’ll make sure we keep you up-to-date with all the action from the felt in the coming days.
