Welcome to Day 1b of the £1,100 UKIPT Main Event at EPT London
The second flight of the £1,100 UKIPT Main Event kicks off at 6 p.m. local time at the PokerStars European Poker Tour London at the Hilton Park Lane hotel.
Day 1b features shorter 30-minute levels with blinds starting at 100/100 with an 100 big blind ante with players starting with 30,000 chips. There will be a 15-minute break every four levels with there being two reentries allowed per flight. Late registration will end after Level 10 at approximately 11:30 p.m. local time.
Play will end once the field reaches 15% of players, who will all return in the money for Day 2 on Thursday 20th October. The survivors will merge with the survivors from the other three flights to battle it out for the prize pool.
This will mark the second UKIPT London Main Event of 2022, following the first live European victory for James Rann in April. The UK native defeated a field of 645 entries to take home the biggest slice of the £619,200 prize pool to conclude the first UKIPT series in more than five years.
