The PokerStars UK & Ireland Poker Tour pulls into Edinburgh, Scotland today and will stay there until Aug. 22. Poker players who enjoy a little bit of culture are in for a treat with this stop of the Tour – the event takes place during the world famous Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe arts festivals.
Hosted in one of the city’s most prestigious concert locations, the Corn Exchange, the £500 + 50 buy-in event has a capacity of 500 runners and expects to be one of the biggest events ever played in Scotland.
Nick Wealthall, UKIPT host, said, “The UKIPT tournament is guaranteed to be one of the biggest tournaments in the history of poker in Scotland and if the rest of the season is anything to go by there will be a tonne of cash up for grabs as well as the honour of being the first ever Scottish winner on the tour. The event is taking place in the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, one of the most prestigious concert locations in Scotland.”
