Hi guys,

Next up on the agenda is the inaugural UKIPT Isle of Man held at the historic Villa Marina and featuring the €500,000 GTD £1,100 UKIPT Main Event.

The Isle of Man is a special event as it is the home of PokerStars and the wider Rational Group and as such we are organising a number of unique events and incentives:

- Tours of the PokerStars office and server rooms so players can finally see what goes on behind the scenes at the worlds largest poker site

- Rational Group jobs fair

- We will have our top Team Pros in attendance including but not limited to Daniel Negreanu with further Pros confirming attendance as we speak (will update with a full list shortly).

- Days 3 & 4 will be feature a full webcast as per EPT.

- Enhance UKIPT party and player experience

- The latest VIP Club Live party also takes place on Wednesday October 30th, details of how to purchase tickets via the link below below:

http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/live/isle-of-man/

The full schedule has now been released and will include on site cash games for the duration of the event:

http://www.ukipt.com/tournaments/iom/

How to get there:

The easiest option is to fly with regular flights to Isle of Man provided by Easy Jet, FlyBe and British Airways from most major UK cities and from Dublin for ROI. Alternatively you can take the scenic route via the ferry which departs from Liverpool or Heysham.

Please note that as a ONE TIME EXCEPTION PokerStars staff will be able to enter the main event (with the exception of anyone connected to the live event team).

Flights are relatively cheap at the moment and we would recommend booking now to secure the best prices.

Satellites are running now on PokerStars and for the next two weeks the Thursday 20:02 £162 qualifier has 2 packages ADDED for the next three weeks - i.e. we're adding £3200 to the prize pool.

Any questions please feel free to ask and I will update with further exciting announcements we have in the pipeline.

Cheers,

Jamie

If they are organising tours of offices and server rooms as entertainment then I can only imagine not too great..


Never been to Isle of man, could be worth taking a shot at this.

Only been there once for a couple of days. Not much nightlife, a bunch of pubs and a casino on the seafront is all I remember.

There's a wonderful golf course at the Southern end of the island near the airport called Castletown which I would heartily recommend playing, weather permitting.

I remember being pleasantly surprised by the night life to be honest. It's not London or Berlin but i've had a couple of decent nights there.

Hi Guys

Satellites start tomorrow Smiley

We have kept the buy-ins matching last weeks £150 sats so that you can use any unused tokens whether they be £5, £25 or £168 (£168 won from Deepstack or Six Max sats need to be converted to the right tokens so you can use them just email me to do this - Nicola@dusktilldawnpoker.com)

Packages must be used for UKIPT Isle of Man so £168 tokens won for these satellites will expire after this event as they're one-off satellites.

Any questions give us a shout.

Thanks Nic
