Table Of Contents
The UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) is back, and this time, it's bringing the thrill of poker to the sun-kissed shores of the Costa del Sol. Get ready for an unforgettable fusion of sun, sea, sand, and poker as UKIPT teams up with the Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT) for a special summer holiday stop in Malaga.
From June 10 to 16, 2024, poker enthusiasts will converge at The Gran Madrid Casino Torrequebrada for an electrifying week of cards and camaraderie. Nestled in the heart of Benalmádena, just a stone's throw away from the UK, this picturesque location promises the perfect blend of poker excitement and Mediterranean charm.
The decision to include Malaga in the UKIPT itinerary follows the footsteps of the immensely popular UKIPT Marbella, which captivated players from 2013 to 2018. Now, with the UKIPT and ESPT Malaga event, players can expect the same blend of competitive poker and laid-back vibes that made Marbella a favorite among recreational and seasoned players alike.
To celebrate this union of poker powerhouses, PokerStars is offering 10 Malaga Main Event Seats at the Irish Open, giving players the chance to win packages and experience the thrill of UKIPT ESPT Malaga firsthand.
