PokerStars UKIPT Returns To Edinburgh For Fifth Successive Year

With 2015 almost over, it's time for PokerStars to make its annual jaunt to the picturesque capital of Scotland for the latest leg of the United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) Season 5.

Ever present on the tour’s calendar since the UKIPT launched, Edinburgh always attracts some of the best poker talent from around the United Kingdom and Ireland. The city’s beautiful surroundings, its vibrant nightlife and hot poker action make the UKIPT Edinburgh festival a must-play event.

Nick Abou Risk won the inaugural UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event, outlasting 400 other players on his way to securing a £50,000 payday.
