UKIPT Bristol
Picture copied from Wikipedia
Originally in Swansea, November's UKIPT leg has been moved to Gala Harbourside in Bristol and runs from the 8th to the 12th of November.
The Main Event is a £700+70 buyin and there's a 500 cap which I would expect to be hit easily, creating a £385k prize pool so £70k+ for first It's going to follow the UKIPT structure for all this season's events, with 15k starting stacks, 1 hour levels, and 8 levels on Day 1 and 2 with no dinner break (12pm - 9pm approx).
Hotels can be found at UK & Ireland Poker Tour Hotels, with the Ibis pretty close and less than £70 a night for a double or twin room. Satellites are running already, with £162 and £109 freezeouts for packages and £77 Seat Only qualifiers.
Not only is it the first UKIPT event in Bristol, it's also going to host the first ever UKIPT Online final table. UKIPT Online is a £700+35 online tournament with a £250k guarantee, and the final table will be held live in Bristol before UKIPT Bristol starts.
As well as the main there will be cash and numerous side events - there's normally a decent sized £300 2 day over the weekend, some £100 sides, some £50 turbos, a £100-£150 deepstack turbo and £2k high roller.
Bristol is a great city, some amazing cider pubs like The Cori Tap and The Apple and great nightlife. The casino is OK, pretty small and dark to be honest and the only main access is via two tiny slow lifts so it'll be interesting to see if they can open up some fire stairs or something.
