UKIPT Brighton last Year will be a very hard act to follow after Jamie Burland´s brave victory in the Main Event. The “man they wouldn´t give a bar tab to” made some excellent calls against an aggressive Tomas Cibak in the heads up climax of the tournament, and left Brighton with a winner´s cheque of £65.400. Both Burland and Cibak had qualified for the Main Event through PokerStars qualifiers, and PokerStars will be giving everybody who wants to participate in UKIPT Brighton 2011 the chance to do it again.

Direct buy-in for the £100.000 guaranteed event is £500.00 + £50.00, however throughout June and July, PokerStars will be offering their members the chance to qualify for a valuable accommodation plus entry package from as little as $2.22 or 111 frequent player points. With a seat at the £5.250 EPT London Main Event also available to the winner of UKIPT Brighton 2011, the ROI from your initial satellite buy-in could be very impressive!

There will also be an excellent side event schedule arranged to compliment the Main Event at this year´s UKIPT Brighton, and highlights of the tournament are to be televised and shown on Channel 4 – with expert analysis from Team UK PokerStars pro Liv Boeree.
