New Stops Added To UK & Ireland Poker Tour Season ThreeUKIPT Stops In Wales For The First Time And Returns To Cork And Edinburgh |
|
PokerStars has added four stops to season 3 of the UK & Ireland Poker Tour. As well as Galway, Nottingham, Dublin, and Newcastle, the schedule will now also include Swansea, Edinburgh, Cork, and London.
The Tour will be making its Welsh debut at the Aspers Casino, Swansea and will run from Nov. 22-26 featuring a £700 + £70 main event and various side events. It then makes a return to Edinburgh and Cork in early 2013 before reaching its climax in London where it will, for the first time, have a dedicated UKIPT main event instead of the European Poker Tour London doubling as the UKIPT final.
Season 2 was a great success for the UKIPT and with additional (and more diverse) stops, even better things are expected for season 3. Each stop is guaranteeing £250,000 or €250,000, and the action begins in Galway on Feb. 16.
