The Universal Championship of Poker returns with €500,000 in guarantees and an opportunity to travel around Europe with the MPN Poker Tour.
Up to €1,500
The Universal Championship of Poker is back at RedKings and this time we're being treated head-on to two action packed series from January 13 to February 10.
First in line is the UCOP Mini, starting tomorrow with a total of 56 events running until January 27. A prize pool of more than €45,000 is guaranteed with buy-ins ranging from €0.55 to €32 for the UCOP Mini High Roller on the last day of the series.
On the same day, the UCOP Mini Main Event is due as well, starting at 17:00 GMT on January 27. The buy-in is €11 and a prize pool of at least €5,000 is guaranteed in the pure freezeout tournament.
UCOP Passport Series to follow
When the UCOP Mini is still being concluded, the first events of the then following UCOP Passport will be played. Running from January 27 until February 10, this larger series will guarantee a total prize pool of more than €450,000.
Just like its smaller brother, the UCOP Passport will feature 56 events in total with buy-ins ranging from €5.50 up to €320. The formats offered include standard freezeout as well as rebuy, bounty, booster and deepstack events.
The series will conclude on Sunday, February 10 with a €30,000 High Roller as well as the €50,000 Main Event, starting at 17:00 GMT with a buy-in of €110.

€10,000 UCOP Passport Leaderboard
Additionally, a leaderboard will run across all UCOP Passport events with €10,000 in prizes, amongst them three MPN Poker Tour packages worth €4,500 for the winner.
Leaderboard points can be earned by playing as many UCOP Passport events as possible and will be calculated based on a formula taking into account buy-in, number of entrants, final position, and a final table bonus.
On top of that, anyone winning a UCOP Passport event will qualify for the Tournament of Champions on February 17 at 18:00 GMT, which will reward another MPN Poker Tour package worth €1,500.
