UKIPT Cork starts today

Thursday, 19 May 2011

The Queen is making an historic visit to Ireland this week but unfortunately for HRH, she's not managed to find room in the schedule for the latest leg of the PokerStars UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) in Cork which starts this afternoon.

While Liz and Phil may be missing out on the action there will be no shortage of their compatriots heading across the Irish Sea trying to emulate Padraig Parkinson, Max Silver, Femi Fakinle and Nick Abou Riskwho all won on Irish soil last year.


In addition to the €500+€60 Main Event there will also be a selection of side events including a €1,500 High Roller, a €100 Charity Bounty and a €100 Poker Triathlon.
