Popular Sky Poker Tour Set to Return in August
The Sky Poker Tour is returning to the United Kingdom in August following a four-year hiatus, much to the delight of the bustling Sky Poker community.
For years, the Sky Poker Tour was a big community driver on Sky Poker, but the tour ended in Oct. 2013 with a Grand Final held at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, which was won by Mark Chantler for £14,985.
Sky Poker then focussed on the UK Poker Championships (UKPC) and ran these in 2014, 2015 and 2016. While popular with poker players from around the United Kingdom, Dusk Till Dawn, which hosted and helped promote the UKPC, joined forces with partypoker in early 2015 and this threw a spanner in the works so the UKPC was no more.
On Aug. 4 until Aug. 6, the Sky Poker Tour returns with a £40,000 guaranteed tournament at the Manchester 235 casino. The buy-in for this event is an affordable £220, but Sky Poker is hosting satellite tournaments online from Jun. 24 starting at only £2.20. The SPT satellites feed into a nightly SPT Semi satellite costing £48 to enter and these guarantee two Sky Poker Tour Manchester seats Monday through Thursday and five seats Friday through Sunday.
According to the Sky Poker website, more destinations are to be announced soon and it is likely that “fond favorites will make a comeback, along with some new venues.”
