Poker Stars has made two changes to its UK & Ireland Poker Tour schedule, both of which should be welcomed by PokerStars players. The first is the addition of a new stop on the UKIPT 2010 schedule, and the second is a reduced buy-in for an existing stop on the tour.

The new stop for the UKIPT is in Edinburgh, Scotland. The 2010 UKIPT Edinburgh will take place August 19 – 22, which is the same time that the Edinburgh Fringe Festival will be taking place. The schedule will include many side events, culminating in a main event with a £500+£50 buy-in.

The reduced buy-in is for the UKIPT Dublin stop in Dublin, Ireland. The UKIPT Dublin main event now only costs €500+€60 to enter. The prize pool remains unchanged at €250,000.

Satellites into these UKIPT main events are running throughout the season at PokerStars, with the current satellites being for the UKIPT Brighton, which takes place on July 15 – 19. The UKIPT Kilarney, meanwhile, just started today June 24 and runs through June 27.
