Our last UKPL series in Newcastle smashed it with massive main event numbers. Local lad and 888poker ambassador Ian Simpson won that main on the heels of his other Main Event win in our 888pokerLIVE Madrid series.

Now, we’re doing it all over again in Edinburgh from 17 – 22 June with the UKPL poker league leg at Grosvenor Casino’s The Maybury. Located in an iconic art deco building, The Maybury boasts a unique, exclusive, upscale experience for poker players.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and dates back to 8500 BC! So, poker players can take advantage of the architecture, culture, and plethora of things to see and do away from the felt.

As our partnership with Grosvenor Casinos continues to grow, the UKPL Edinburgh is one stop on the schedule you don’t want to miss.
