Monthly Lightning £1,100 — The Hippodrome, London (monthly)

6 Oct – 1 Dec 2026 · The Hippodrome Casino (PokerStars at the Hippodrome), London, United Kingdom

£1,100Main event buy-in

The Hippodrome's flagship monthly, re-verified on 2 October 2026: a £1,100 single-day event held on the first Tuesday of every month and streamed. The October, November and December 2026 editions were all listed when we checked, so the series runs to the end of the year. One practical note for anyone planning around it: the Hippodrome publishes its tournament details as images rather than text, so start times and structures have to be read on the page itself.
