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:

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
