You are right it might not be the biggest, but it will be one talked about for a good while to come.

Sky Poker UK Tour has had a terrific year and is definitely on the rise in the poker tournament circuit. While it's not the biggest prize pool on the circuit, it is helping to increase the popularity of poker in that part of the world.

I believe Sky Poker UK Tour has a great chance of becoming an important tournament in a few years. Poker popularity is on the rise all over the world and more people are becoming involved.
