There are two more Day 1 flights for the Main running Friday for players to bag a stack for the final two days of play on the weekend, including a turbo 1C flight for fans of ultra-fast poker.Īmong Brighton’s other events on the calendar are a Women’s event, an 8-game, and the £330 multi-day UKIPT Cup, with two starting flights before it wraps up on Sunday alongside the Main Event final day. The featured event in the week-long poker festival is the £1100 Main Event, which runs its first Day 1 flight on Thursday, September 7, at 2 p.m. This week, in addition to the usual seaside culture of fish and chips and deck chairs, the poker action is ongoing all week after the cards went in the air on September 5 for a couple of qualifier games and the opening NLH event at Brighton’s Rendezvous Casino Marina.
While the south coast city of Brighton is sometimes known as “London by the Sea,” it has a unique flavor of its own that sets it apart from the bustling capital about 75 miles north. From September 5 through September 10, PokerStars will be bringing the UKIPT for six days of poker action. It has been 12 years since the UK and Ireland Poker Tour ( UKIPT) stopped in Brighton on the south coast of the UK, but the PokerStars Live tour is in the seaside community once again in 2023.
