This year's tournament will see Team PokerStars Pro, Jake Cody, looking to build on his previous two final table places.

The first stop of the UKIPT will run in London from January 20th to January 25th, and with a £700 + £70 buy-in for the Main Event, competition will be fierce. Cash games will feature around the clock 24/7. There will be a selection of side events to choose from including a £3,000 + £300 High Roller event taking place on January 20th and January 21st.
