2010 GUKPT Schedule Announced

 


The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) will be returning in 2010 for a fourth year. 2010 will see new events and new venues added to the schedule of the UK’s biggest poker tour. Once again Grosvenor/G Casinos and their online partner gcasino.com are adding significant prize money to the tour. The added prize money in 2010 will be at least £200,000!

 

The 2010 schedule includes:

The Main Tour – 8 legs, a grand final and the Champion of Champion’s festival.
The Summer Series – launched in 2009, it has now been extended to include ten mini-festivals, taking place from May – August.
The Club Championships – New for 2010, the GUKPT Club Championships is a series of one-day £200 tournaments, taking place in all 23 Grosvenor and G Casinos with a poker room.
The 10% Online Series – New for 2010, a series of one off events taking place the day after each festival on the Main Tour and the Summer Series concludes. The buy in will be 10% of the cost of the main event at the festival that has just concluded. These tournaments will be available on Blue Square Poker, Grosvenor Poker and the poker room of gcasino.com.
£200,000 Added Prize Money

The Champion of Champions tournament will be taking place again, for the third successive year and the prize money is being increased to a massive £150,000. The event was launched in 2008 with a £75,000 prize pool and this was increased to £100,000 in 2009. The stakes have now been significantly raised and only way to get into this prestigious tournament is to win a GUKPT event in 2010. Main events and side events on the Main Tour, the Summer Series, the Club Championships and the 10% Online Series all count as qualifying events. There are also a limited number of additional qualifying events (such as the GUKPT Student Championship and the GUKPT Press Championship) which will be detailed on GUKPT.com early in 2010.
The GUKPT Rankings. As per 2009, £50,000 is prize money will be paid out to the 20 players who top the GUKPT leader board by the end of the year. Points are awarded for all open events on the GUKPT. Details of how points are earned will be listed on gukpt.com
Online qualification will be available at the online poker room of gcasino.com (which is being launched in early 2010) and also continues on the site of the tour’s previous sponsor, Blue Square Poker and on Grosvenor Poker.

£200 comps at Pompey & Southampton on same day needs looking at, just diluting what will already be a small field.

Hope it's a blinding success though, wp Raaby.

Looks excellent.  I played the summer series up here in the deen this year and the whole thing was run superbly.  I will definately be back for this and if I was closer to the other places Id play as many as I could get to easily.

A little disappointed they have dropped the buy in for the main event from 500 to 300 in the summer series for some places, there already were cheaper events on the schedule.  But then again I understand why, and if it raises the player pool a lot then I suppose its a good thing.  Really looking forward to this.

Btw wtf is the script with this club championship thing?
