The GUKPT has arrived for its 6th Season carrying another heavy suitcase of added value - £200,000 worth – to give away over 13 legs across the UK and, for the first time, beyond.
The Tour stops first at the tables of the G Casino, Bury New Road, Manchester next week from the 22nd-30th January. The 3-day £1,000 Main Event runs from the 27th-29th January (see below for full schedule).
New for GUKPT 2012:
- Four new £500 Main Event festival legs alternating Deep Stack and 6-Max Main Events
- Two new stops: Dublin and Belgium (May and June 2012)
- The GUKPT Leaderboard this year provides its top prize winner with all Main Events on Tour in 2013– including accommodation and pro tuition; £40,000 in total awarded in prizes
- Simplified Scheduling: All £1,000 Main Event festival weeks follow exactly the same schedule while £500 Main Event weeks follow their own, so start times, days, stacks, and clocks for side events are constant wherever you are in Europe
- £1,500 of free satellite entries heading to each venue on Sharky's Nights
Back by Popular Demand:
- The Champion of Champions event returns to its £100,000 Freeroll format for winners of any GUKPT festival event (excluding satellites)
- Shoal Survivor returns giving the longest-lasting live and online qualifiers free buy-ins to the value of the Main Event played
- 10 seats guaranteed £30 rebuy super satellite Sundays start every festival week and one seat is added to the final £30 rebuy satellite on the Sunday wrapping up each leg
This first leg presents the first chance to score valuable Leaderboard points, the first chance to bag a trophy and entry to the Champion of Champions, the first challenge at the felt for the New Year.
