888poker Takes a £100K Gtd UKPL Main Event to Newcastle This April
Table Of Contents
The second leg of the 2025 888poker UK Poker League (UKPL) sees the popular live poker tour head to the Grosvenor G Casino in Newcastle from April 1. It marks the first time an 888poker-branded event has headed to Newcastle since the Aspers Newcastle hosted a £220 888poker LIVE Local event in July 2015.
Only a £220 buy-in tournament took place back then. Fast-forward to April 2025, and the vibrant 888poker UKPL Newcastle schedule boasts several events, including a £560 buy-in, £100,000 guaranteed Main Event, and a £1,100 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller with £50,000 guaranteed.
888poker UKPL Newcastle begins on April 1 with two events and a satellite. April 1 may be a time for pranksters, but the first day of UKPL Newcastle is no joke. A £250 NLHE Opening Voyage with £50,000 guaranteed sets the tone for the week-long festival.
For comparison, the Opening Voyage at UKPL Portsmouth drew in 321 players in late January and paid out £67,710. Although Portsmouth is at the opposite end of the country to Newcastle, you should expect a similar crowd because the Geordies love their poker!
The schedule’s crown jewel is the £560 888poker UKPL Newcastle Main Event. Guaranteeing £100,000, the UKPL Newcastle Main Event features a quartet of starting flights. Day 1A commences at 3:00 p.m. GMT on April 3, with 1B and 1C running from 1:00 p.m. GMT and 6:00 p.m. GMT on April 4. Day 1D on April 5 will be the busiest flight, so make sure you’re ready to rock and roll from noon.
Day 2 of the UKPL Newcastle Main Event starts at 12:00 p.m. GMT on April 6. Players can buy in before the first cards are dealt, albeit with a much shallower stack. Play continues on Day 2 until one player has all the chips in play.
