The PokerStars United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) returns to London, with action kicking off at a brand new venue – The London Hilton on Park Lane. Today marks the first of four starting flights for the flagship tournament of the series, which continues until a champion is crowned on October 22.

Play begins at noon local time, with 20-minute breaks taking place after every three levels. A 60-minute dinner break will get underway after the end of Level 10. Day 1a will feature 40-minute levels and players begin with 30,000 chips, with blinds starting at 100/100 and a 100 big blind ante.

Two reentries are allowed during the registration period until the end of Level 10, and the action will close when 15% of the field remains. Players will then bag up for October 20's Day 2 and will merge with the surviving fields from Day 1b, 1c, and 1d.
