When Usman Siddique lifted the UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) London Main Event trophy aloft and got his hands on £84,100 ($119,526) in prize money in April 2016, little did he know that he would hold onto the title for six years. PokerStars wound down the UKIPT as we knew it at the end of its sixth season, but the online poker giant is reviving the tour in 2022.
April 1 sees the 2022 UKIPT season kick off in London; at The Hippodrome Casino, to be exact.
