Penultimate Leg of the 2025 888poker UKPL Runs in Liverpool From Sept. 29
Table Of Contents
The fifth of six legs of the 888poker UK Poker League (UKPL) is only a fortnight away, with UKPL Liverpool scheduled to run from September 29 through to October 5. UKPL Liverpool marks the first time 888poker has headed to Merseyside since it started running live events in 2015. If past UKPLs are anything to go by, those attending UKPL Liverpool are in for a real treat.
September 29 is the first day of the week-long UKPL Liverpool festival. Day 1a of the £250 buy-in, £50,000 guaranteed Opening Voyage gets the series off to a flying start. Pot-Limit Omaha fans can also jump into an event on Day 1, a £150 buy-in, £10,000 guaranteed PLO4/5/6 Card event.
On October 2, as the Opening Voyage is playing down a champion, a £1,100 High Roller shuffles up and deals at 2:00 p.m. BST. An hour later, the Main Event gets underway. Costing £560 to enter, UKPL Liverpool comes with a chunky £100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Each of the four previous UKPL Main Events from 2025 has smashed their guarantees by at least £24,000 and as much as £63,000. Liverpudlians love their poker, so expect another bumper pot created during the UKPL Liverpool Main Event.
