The final stop of the 2023 UKIPT season gets underway at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham on November 5 and features a £1 million guaranteed Main Event. It’s been an exciting UKIPT season so far with well-attended stops in Blackpool, Brighton and Edinburgh as well as the Summer Festival Malta and the Irish Open in Dublin back in April.
The forthcoming UKIPT Nottingham final features some of the biggest prize pools of the year – and will also decide who tops the Player of the Year Leaderboard rankings. Irish Open champion David Docherty has dominated the leaderboard from the start and cashed at every event this year to earn valuable points. At stake is a 2024 UKIPT Package worth £15,000.
The UKIPT Nottingham final features a ton of great tournaments including the £3,200 Super High Roller (starts November 8), the £2,200 UKPT High Roller (November 12-13) and the UKIPT Cup (November 12-13).
