PokerStars UKIPT Heads to Nottingham For £1M Main Event

Table Of Contents

Dusk Till Dawn plays host to the PokerStars UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) from November 8-18, which features, among its many tournaments, a £1 million guaranteed UKIPT Nottingham Main Event.

UKIPT Nottingham first featured back in 2010 during the tour’s debut season. The Nottingham leg has always proven popular despite a five-year hiatus between 2016 and 2021. Indeed, some of the largest top prizes the UKIPT has awarded have been in Nottingham’s Main Event.

The 2024 edition of the UKIPT Nottingham festival begins on November 8 with the £230 NLHE Warm Up. This event features four starting flights, and the champion will be crowned on November 10.

Vincent MeliPokerStars and Dusk Till Dawn have placed a £1 million guarantee on the UKIPT Nottingham Main Event. Four flights are available to help the £1,100 buy-in tournament reach this ambitious total, each with one re-entry per day permitted.

PokerNews’ live reporting team is heading to the home of British poker to bring you live and exclusive updates from the £1,100 UKIPT Nottingham Main Event, from when the dealers pitch the first cards until the winner’s trophy is awarded. The first flight is on November 10, and we’ll discover the worthy champion on November 18.

Last year, the UKIPT Nottingham Main Event doubled as the tour’s grand finale. Including re-entries, 1,227 players bought in, generating a £1,177,920 prize pool. Dozens of top-tier players finished in the top 185 places, seeing a return on their investment. They included Ankit Ahuja, Leo Worthington-Leese, Team PokerStars’ Marle Spragg, Fintan Hand and Benjamin Spragg, Endrit Geci, Tim Chung, and Ludovic Geilich.

Vincent Meli eventually emerged victoriously after a heads-up clash with Patrice Brandt. The heads-up duo struck a deal, which gave Brandt £168,425 for his runner-up finish, with Meli taking home £159,325 and the title of champion.
