The 2015 partypoker UK Festival kicks off with an exciting £550 buy-in WPT500 event, featuring a huge £1 million in guarantees, along with a dozen opening days across two live venues and online at partypoker. The action will begin at London’s Aspers Casino with three of the opening days on Oct. 24, 25, and 30, while Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham will be hosting five of the opening days from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. Players that prefer to qualify into Day 2 online, will have the opportunity to do so on partypoker with four more opening days taking place from Oct. 26-29.
Players have the opportunity to enter once per opening day, or 12 times in total, and will bring their best stack to Day 2 which takes place on Nov. 2 at 2:30 p.m. at Dusk Till Dawn. Players that survive Day 2 are scheduled to play the following day until a winner is declared.
