Yes in 2005 Lord Grosvenor of Westminster called on one of his servants, Mr J Raab to assist him in giving something back to the the poker public of the UK. Lord Grosvenor was a big fan of poker, He set up a charity called 'Blue Square' to help the poor and needy to qualify at very low expense for these competitions thus giving them the chance to win a lot of money. In 2007  they set up the GUKPT in association with Blue Square.

Hope this helps.

THE LAND AND THE FAMILY

 

Grosvenor’s history began with the marriage of Mary Davies and Sir Thomas Grosvenor in 1677.  Mary had inherited 500 acres of land north of the Thames to the west of the City of London.  Sir Thomas was the descendant of a family which traces its roots back to William the Conqueror.

 

THE LONDON ESTATE

 

Mary Davies’ landholding remained largely untouched by the Grosvenors until the 1720s, when they developed the northern part - now known as Mayfair – around Grosvenor Square.  A few generations later, in the 1820s, their focus moved south - to what is now Belgravia - developing Eaton Square, Chester Square and other famous addresses.  Later in the 19th century, the area of Pimlico was developed; this property was sold in 1953.   The Grosvenor family progressively incorporated the London properties in the 20th century and the London Estate is now managed within Grosvenor Britain & Ireland.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, here's one to get your heads around.

Dharminder Buttar button raises and Graham Clarkson says, "Call." But Buttar thinks he's said fold and turns over pocket Eights.

A ruling is called for, and it's decided the hand can continue but, Buttar can only call from now on.



Graham bets 19k and Dharminder calls.



Graham now moves all-in and Dharminder quickly calls with the Eights. Graham flips but the river is the . Graham sees it first and shouts, "Straight!" in pure disbelief, then shoves all his chips towards Buttar before leaving the table.

Nik Persaud says, "I've not seen such magic since I went to see David Blaine...Other people know exactly what you have and yet you still win the pot!"



Clarkson is out in 13th.

This was the sick/magic hand i referred to in another post.

Good luck 'D'.

bleh great updates as usual guys.  GL to nik, plz tid one time.  also i think that Dharminder dude is a pretty terrible player, i played with him most of day 1 and he spews in such bad spots like 67 vs me and that 88 hand which is just lol.

[Sunday8pm]

have to say i sat with peter all of day 1 and he played superbly. He was card dead for the last 4 levels and never panicked and got stuck in with junk. We spoke before todays play and he was wishing he could swap stacks with me as he was shortish. We both laughed how quickly things can turn in this game and while I am at home borderline legless hes sat there as chip daddy.

those who play online may know him as googi the lunatic potbetting crazy off crapto a couple of years ago. He couldn't have been further away from his online persona though playing patiently and getting rewarded today by the looks.

One of my good pals from the big smoke of Bury St Edmunds. Quality chap.
