GUKPT Luton Main Event Live Update

Submitted by: TightEnd on Thu, 12/08/2010 - 9:53am

blonde Poker is back at the GUKPT. Possibly on a one off basis, but we'll see

Please join Adrian "Rockstar" Gotch and myself from 2pm this afternoon for a live update of Day1a of the GUKPT Luton.

Luton is always one of the busiest stops in the GUKPT Series. Always in August, it occurs when everyone is back from their annual pilgrimages to the WSOP. Furthermore the location means it attracts the London and the national players. Satellite seat winners are plentiful and the locals come out in force.

I'm expecting 300+ runners over the two days.

Last year this was one by Richard Gryko and in prior years by Sam Trickett and Dave Clark.

 

Some thank yous
