New Look UKIPT Super Series Heads to the Hippodrome
Since launching, the PokerStars UKIPT Super Series tournaments have quickly become must-play events for players in and around the United Kingdom thanks to their affordable buy-in, and the huge prize pools.
The latest edition of the UKIPT Super Series is the first such event since its facelift, which includes a new buy-in, a turbo starting flight, and re-entry added to all Day 1s.
Taking place at the Hippodrome Casino in the heart of London between August 31 and September 4, the UKIPT Super Series ups its buy-in to £550, which should see the already substantial prizes increase, too.
Players have the choice of three starting flights, with Days 1a and 1b starting at the normal time of 12:00 p.m., and a third and final flight scheduled for 10:00 p.m. on September 2, giving those of you who work the opportunity to leave the office and make your way to the casino; Day 1c will be played with a turbo blind structure in order to have it finish at a reasonable hour.
Also on the schedule are a £275 UKIPT Super Series 2nd Chance tournament played over two-days, a £110 buy-in Women's Event that is sure to attract some of the best female players in the country, and a £100+£100+£20 Knockout tournament where £100 is awarded for each opponent that you send to the rail.
