UKIPT Mega Sat at DTD this weekend

Submitted by: TightEnd on Fri, 23/03/2012 - 12:00pm

Head down to the Dusk Till Dawn poker club this Saturday and you could be walking away with a seat in the record-breaking PokerStars.com UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) Nottingham and bags full of cash to boot!

At 9pm Saturday there will be a £50+£6 unlimited re-entry Mega Satellite that guarantees no fewer than five seats to the £700+£70 UKIPT Nottingham Main Event, which you may remember Dusk Till Dawn have guaranteed a prize pool of £1,000,000 in! Players in the Mega Satellite will receive 10,000 chips and play to a 15-minute blind structure. It could possible be the best £56 you ever spend!

The UKIPT Nottingham Main Event needs to attract close to 1,500 players if the guarantee is to be met and the fantastic DTD is not going to be left picking up a substantial tab. In order to help them achieve their lofty goal PokerStars have taken the unprecedented step of allowing a third starting day to be added to the schedule. Day 1a will now take place on Wednesday 11 April and there are 450 seats available with alternates accepted for six levels. Day 1b is now on Thursday 12 April and the DTD club have said there will be approximately 150 seats available on that day, again with alternates accepted for six levels. The third and final day, Day 1c is on Friday 13 April and there are only around 100 seats left for that day.

DTD should be applauded for once again trying to raise the bar when it comes to live poker in the United Kingdom and you can do your bit by heading down to the club and playing in this and the many satellites that will be taking place in the coming weeks or by buying in or qualifying for the £1,000,000 guaranteed event on the world's biggest online poker site PokerStars.
