With the last Event barely behind us, it is now time to think about the next Grosvenor UK Poker Tour leg (in association with Blue Square) in Cardiff. Only 4 weeks away, the anticipation is already building, and deservedly so as the GUKPT has quickly become the UK circuit's hottest property.
Below are all the details you need for your route to the third Leg. With 320 players, it's going to be another huge Event and I'm sure all the stars, as well as the usual suspects, will be making that trip to Wales.
Already qualified are the likes of Lucy Rokach, Tony Kendall and Jim Kerrigan, not to mention potential hometown heroes, Richard Rudling Smith (I think he's a Cardiffer) and Ian Herbert (definitely Welsh). Should be a cracker, make sure you're there - the Blonde live update team will be!
