£1 MILLION SKY POKER 6-MAX UK POKER CHAMPIONSHIPS SET FOR AUGUST



[LEEDS, United Kingdom – 16th April, 2014] ¬– Sky Poker has announced another major addition to the British poker calendar with the Sky Poker 6-Max UK Poker Championships to take place from 7th-17th August 2014. The event will once again be hosted by Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham with the highlight of the series set to be the £500,000 Guaranteed 6-Max Championship Event.

The Sky Poker 6-Max UK Poker Championships festival will take place 7th-17th August 2014 at Dusk Till Dawn with every event on the schedule in the popular six-handed format. The £1,000 buy-in Championships Main Event will feature three Day 1 flights, with re-entries available on Days 1a and 1b (Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th August respectively). The Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Champion will be crowned on Day 4, Sunday 17th August.

The 6-Max UK Poker Championships Main Event concludes an eleven-day schedule of poker in Nottingham, with High Roller, Pot Limit Omaha, Mini, Turbo and Hyper-Turbo events also on the schedule. A total of £1,000,000 will be guaranteed in prize pools across all events, with the Main Event offering £500,000. As with the first UK Poker Championships, Sky’s TV cameras will be at the event to capture the action from the final.

 “After the success of the inaugural Sky Poker UK Poker Championships earlier this year, we are delighted to announce this additional 6-Max festival”, said Richard Milner, Head of Sky Poker. “With the excellent team and facilities that DTD offer, we’re sure it will be a great event and we know that 6-Max is very popular with Sky Poker customers. The previous event was full of many well-known and high profile favourites from the UK poker scene and we expect the same this time”.

Satellites to the £500,000 Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Championship Event will be available on Skypoker.com from Monday 21st April, with regular satellites running from as little as £2.10. There will also be a series of promotions and freerolls on Skypoker.com throughout the coming months which could lead to someone winning an anticipated six-figure first prize for free!

No plo8, no NLO8 Hypers?

No plo8, no NLO8 Hypers? 

Sadly, no PLO8, no, just PLO. If only.......


NLO8 Hypers? Pfft, wash your mouth out, the subtleies of PLO8 are it's attraction. IMO, of course.

You missed the UKPC in February, due to half-term, but I really hope you can make this one.

Avoid the PLO though, super-tough field, that.

Please tell your friends, too. And Mitch.

Satellites & Promos (including Freerolls) to the MAIN EVENT ONLY start on SkyPoker.com on Monday, & wiull be based, as per the previous UKPC, on weekly finals.   

DTD will, as I understand it, operate their usual "win a token, use it for anything" system, so, in effect, qualifying has already began there. I imagine they will get UKIPT out of the way before revving up the 6-Max UKPC noise.

Both DTD & SkyPoker will work hard to try & make this a great festival, & that's very much the plan. Kudos to Rob & his crew, (even Nick) who have been endlessly patient with me, (on behalf of SkyPoker), in negotiations & discussions.

I   Will be blocking out these days in my diary now. The last Sky Festival at Dusk Till Dawn was brilliant and I think 6 Max is the best form of Texas. Also the place will be rocking as Rob has loaded some new tunes onto the IPod sound system :-)

Great news. The last Sky Poker Championship was the best UK festival atmosphere I have seen. Glad it seems to becoming a fixture / hope it does become a fixture. Better get winning some tokens!

Excellent news Mr Gas, music apart.

What about the reprobate offspring? Personally, not fussed, we need to maintain standards.
