    Hi Folks
    The UKIPT returns to Dublin in a new and exciting venue with the €350,000 Guaranteed UKIPT Main Event. Enjoy the action in the historic Round Room at the Mansion House located in the heart of Dublin City Centre, between Trinity College and St Stephens Green.
    It was in this room, in 1919 that the first Dail Eireann was held: Making the first definitive parliamentary move for Home Rule. And now it’s playing home to the UK and Ireland’s biggest poker tour.

    Highlights of the UKIPT Dublin stop include the Main Event which is a €700 + €70 buy-in, The Dublin Cup a €300+€ 30 buy-in and the High Roller which is a single re-entry for € 2000+€ 200.

    After the success of the Isle Of Man "Home Game" This event is also going to be the first ever "Home Game" for Full Tilt Poker and Rational Group employees. As many of you know over 300 people are employed by Full Tilt Poker who's office is based in Dublin. You can chat to the staff and ask all about their roles and responsibilities and find out what its like to work behind the scenes. All the staff will be easily identified by a staff patch with the Irish Flag embroidered on it.

    We are not running cash games at this event but we have partnered up with The Sporting Emporium who are located on Anne's Lane - a two minute minute walk from the venue.

    BRING YOUR PSLIVE CARD
    Every participant must be a member of PS Live. Registering with PSLive is easy; simply go to the registration desks at the entrance bring your valid passport, drivers licence or government issued picture ID and we will do the rest.
    If you have a PSLive card from a previous PokerStars live event there is no need to re-register. If you have lost your PSLive card please call to the registrations desk in the hallway and we will re-issue you with a new one. Registering early with PSLive will avoid any potential delays, so why not register the night before or a few hours before your chosen event.

    Main Event Travel are our preferred accommodation providers and they have a range of value for money options specifically tailored around the event http://www.maineventtravel.com/event...iEventID=15151

    Satellites are running on PokerStars right now with qualifiers available from just € 1.10 under the ‘Events > More > UKIPT’ tab.

    Dave Curtis
