GUKPT Leg 1 Event Information - G Casino, Bolton
Leg 1 of the gcasino.com sponsored 2010 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) takes place at the G Casino, Bolton from the 18th - 24th January. Bolton was the venue for the very first GUKPT event in January 2007, which was won by Praz Bansi. As per that first event, this year’s main event has just one starting day on Friday the 22nd January. It will conclude on Sunday 24th. The £1,000 + £70 main event has a capacity for 200 players and will start at 2pm. Each player will start with 15,000 chips.
The festival includes several side events with buy-ins from £100 - £300 and also includes a last chance super satellite the night before the main event starts. Further super satellites take place at 2pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the festival week. All side events in 2010 will have increased starting chips this year (see below).
Please note that most of the side events in 2010 will start half-an-hour earlier than in previous years, at 7.30pm. Thursday’s PL Omaha tournament will start at 5pm. The winners of all tournaments will be invited to play in the £150,000 Champion of Champions tournament.
