The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) enters its 14th season on January 23rd when it stops off at the famous Grosvenor Victoria Casino where it will call home until February 2nd.
GUKPT London gives players the chance to see a handful of new-look tournaments in action for the first time.
The GUKPT Midi Main Event gets the festival underway, guaranteeing £100,000 for a £560 buy-in. GUKPT as several similarly-sized Main Events on its 2020 schedule, but this particular one is in addition to the massive £300,000 guaranteed Main Event.
The Grosvenor Casino Victoria has the perfect blend of sophistication and excitement. Affectionately known as ‘The Vic', we offer world class table gaming, we offer Blackjack, American Roulette, Slots, Electronic Roulette and of course poker. You can now enjoy these games al fresco in our new rooftop gaming terrace - The Loft.
Speaking of which, Grosvenor has increased the buy-in for GUKPT London from £1,110 to £1,500. It is an increase of 26% and it remains to be seen what effect, if any, the higher buy-in has on the attendance figures. The £1,500 is broken down to £1,350 for the prize pool and £150 in tournament fees.
One man guaranteed to be playing for a share of the £300,000 guaranteed prize pool of the Main Event is Richard Kellett. Kellett won the National Poker League's top prize, a £14,000 Diamond Package, during the previous season. The package awarded him entry to every GUKPT Main Event in 2020, a £2,000 accommodation package, merchandise, and a goodie bag.
Kellett showed incredible consistency last season, reaching four GUKPT Main Event final tables, six 25/25 Series final table, plus a trio of Deepstack final tables.
The other new addition to the schedule is a £5,000 High Roller event. GUKPT has shied away from such buy-ins in the past, but looks to be dipping its toes in the water in the capital to see how they get on. One would imagine they will perform well in and around London, but struggle further north. We shall wait and see.
