Last Chance to Dance as Final Leg of 2025 888poker UKPL Enters Day 1d
The fourth and final Day 1 of the 888poker UK Poker League Coventry £560 Main Event is scheduled to start at noon local time today. With a combined 156 entries across the previous three starting flights, the tournament is only a few dozen buy-ins away from crushing the £100,000 guarantee. With a busy day expected at the Grosvenor Casino inside the Coventry Building Society Arena, there will likely be no issues in eclipsing the six-figure prize pool.
All players sitting down for Day 1d will be chasing Terelle Tavares, who grabbed the overall chip lead by bagging a massive stack of 857,000 on Day 1b. Day 1a chipleader Ding Fan is on Tavares' heels with 842,000 in chips, while Tyler Read ended up with the most chips on Day 1c, placing fourth on the overall leaderboard with 501,000.

UKPL Reading Main Event champion Dale Wilson has also already booked his spot for Day 2 with a stack of 223,000, while Ian Simpson (294,000) was the only member of Team 888 to find a bag on one of the three previous starting flights.
His colleagues Josh Manley, Nick Eastwood, and Jack Dean, as well as defending champion Jamie Morris were unable to make it through their starting day, but will have a new opportunity with Day 1d today.
If they opt to try again, they will sit down with a fresh stack of 50,000, good for 250 big blinds in Level 1: 100/200 (200). The levels on Day 1d will last 40 minutes each, with a 15-minute break scheduled after every three levels.
Late registration will remain open until the start of Level 13: 2,500/5,000 (5,000), allowing players to take a final shot with ten big blinds. The day will end after Level 15: 4,000/8,000 (8,000) has been completed, at which point the survivors will bag for Day 2. The action will also be streamed today, with a cards-up feature table being displayed on 888poker's YouTube and Twitch channels, on a 20-minute delay.
