Poker Stars is sponsoring a brand new poker tournament on the live poker circuit, and of course will be offering an abundance of opportunities to satellite your way into its many events for low or no cost at on PokerStars.com.
The new poker tour is called the UK & Ireland Poker Tour (or UKIPT for short). It starts December 11-14 at the Irish Poker Championship in Galway, now also known as UKIPT Galway.
The tour (and respective PokerStars.com satellites) runs through Manchester, Coventry, Nottingham (at the notorious Dusk Till Dawn club), Killarney, Brighton, Scotland, and Dublin, winding up with its finale at the UKIPT London Grand Final on October 2-8, 2010, conveniently also a part of the European Poker Tour event, PokerStars EPT London.
Satellites for all UKIPT events, starting now with UKIPT Galway, run for as little as $2.22 cash, 111 FPPs, or $7.50 or 500 FPPs through the STEPS tournament program. There’s also a PokerStars UKIPT Leader Board with bonus prizes.

Satellites are now underway for the 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
PokerStars is running both cash qualifiers and FPP qualifiers, so whether you’ve got the money or the comp points, as long as you have the inclination (and the desire to fly to the tropical and exotic Caribbean to participate in an official European Poker Tour event).
The 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure prize package includes not only a buy-in into the Main Event but hotel accommodations and expense money too. The total prize package is worth $14,300.
In addition to the regular FPP and cash qualifiers awarding entry into the 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, PokerStars is also hosting what it calls “Steps Sit & Go” satellites, costing as little as $7.50 in cash or 500 in FPP credits to enter.
The Steps satellite series consists of 6 stages (or “steps”); 6 tournaments that players can buy into directly or win their way into by winning the step previous. Win the 6th step and win your $14,300 PCA prize package. Lose at any step, and you can still try again at the same step or the one below.
