Welcome to Day 1a of the 2022 PokerStars UKIPT London £1,100 Main Event
The long awaited return of the PokerStars United Kingdom And Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) sets foot into one of the most iconic venues in the UK, the Hippodrome Casino in the heart of London. Three starting days are available for the flagship tournament of the series, which has already kicked off on April 1, 2022. The £1,100 Main Event will run from April 7 to 10 and provides a deep structure for all participants.
Day 1 will feature 13 levels of 50 minutes each and the players receive 30,000 in chips with 300 big blinds in the first level. Two re-entries are allowed during the registration period until the end of level ten.
Several PokerStars ambassadors will be taking part including Parker Talbot, Ben Spragg, Sam Grafton and Ramon Colillas, all of which entered the £2,200 High Roller last night. The most expensive tournament of the series set a new record for the venue with 131 entries, which is a very promising sign for the £1,100 Main Event as well.
The first starting day gets underway at noon local time and there will be a break every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the end of level six. Both the Main Event and the final day of the High Roller will be played in Lola's, the new poker room at the Hippodrome on the ground floor of the former theatre.
Stay tuned for all the poker action from London as the PokerNews team will be on the floor to provide as many key hands as possible until a champion has been crowned.
