The World Poker Tour (WPT) will return to the Dusk Till Dawn Poker & Casino in Nottingham, UK for the first time since 2019. The WPT500 UK is added to the Season XXI schedule as the eighth European stop.

“We gladly welcome Dusk Till Dawn to the Season XXI schedule,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “Since its introduction in 2014, Dusk Till Dawn has hosted numerous different WPT events, and it is great to be back with WPT®500 UK.”

The £560 buy-in event boasts a £500,000 guaranteed prize-pool. The event kicks off on Friday, May 26th with Day 1A and Day 1B. In total, there will be five starting flights for the tournament, including a turbo flight on Sunday, May 28th. Day Two will also take place on the 28th. On Monday the 29th, the final table will go live on the Dusk Till Dawn YouTube channel.

Dusk Till Dawn owner Rob Yong posted recently on Twitter with updates on the new streaming set-up over in Nottingham.

“We’re very excited to be hosting WPT500 UK at the club,” said Simon Trumper, Live Poker Director at Dusk Till Dawn. “It is an event we expect to highly resonate with our customers, and we hope the timing of the event over a UK bank holiday gives players an even better opportunity to take part.”

Dusk Till Dawn was last featured on the WPT schedule in 2019 with the WPTDeepStacks UK. The venue has also been host to special events like the Devilfish Cup and WPT National events.
