You could be conversant in a selected moment in poker tournaments. It encompasses not such a lot the pain of defeat, because the inconvenience of victory.

Deep in a tournament you start eyeing the tournament clock, knowing that playing on means missing the last train home. And when you know you'll play a deep stack comfortably, you understand also you will not sleep comfortably in relation to that bench on the rail way station, as you await the primary train home.

Well, that's one problem the UKIPT Super Series on the Hippodrome in London celebrates the tip of.

As Londoners know, from August 19 certain London Underground lines run 24 hours on a Friday and Saturday night. In addition they happen to be peak poker hours.

That's where the UKIPT Super Series event comes in, with three (yes three) opening flights on the festival, which begins on the end of this month. And you may play in all of them.

And that isn't simply because of the timings. For the primary time ever at the UKIPT there are three re-entry flights.

Flight 1 (Day 1A): Thursday September 1, 6:30pmFlight 2 (Day 1B): Friday September 2, 12:00pmFlight 3 Turbo (Day 1C): Friday September 2, 10:00pm

Travel logistics aside start times are designed to be kind to the weekend player. So is the buy in, some £220 lower than last year.

Qualify for the UKIPT Super Series on PokerStars for as low as £1. Able to start? Click here to get an account.

You can play straight from work on Thursday, or enjoy some food and a pair of fortifying drinks before getting started at the Day 1C late (Turbo) shift.

Alternatively, operate on slightly more regular hours with a noon start for Day 1B. Whatever your preference, there is a start time for you.

Actually there are three. As we said, nothing ruins a mood greater than early elimination from a poker tournament. So we're abolishing it. Or, to place it more accurately, we're allowing players to play all three flights if that is so desired, with a re-entry in each.

The Main Event culminates with the general table on September 4. If you've never played on the Hippodrome, a converted theatre now masquerading brilliantly as London's best poker destination, it's worth it only for the grandeur and atmosphere. What's more is central location (right next to Leicester Square tube station), is unbeatable.

It's not only the principle event hogging centre stage. They'll even be a women's event on Sunday September 4, starting at 1pm with a buy in of £100 + £10, with a complimentary glass of champagne for players on arrival.

Also at the Sunday, a knockout event follows on from the successful online campaign, and the new IPT St Vincent event (which you could examine here). Open to everyone, it includes a buy in of £100 + £100 + £20 and starts at 2pm.

Finally they'll be a two day second chance event starting on Saturday at 6pm with a buy-in of £250 + £25. After busting early, the second one worse thing is busting without anywhere to hunt redemption. This tournament looks after that that.

Did we are saying satellites are running on PokerStars from as low as £1? Turn that right into a first prize of thousands and also you won't care how late it is.

Get details of the Super Series festival at the UKIPT homepage.

We'll be there till late.
