London and Manchester - Season Finale of Summer Series
The fifth and final instalment of the GUKPT Summer Series is underway this week, with the London leg held at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino getting a head start on Manchester by three days, and the parallel series kicking off on the 26th August. Both historically popular venues, these locations will host the last deep-stacked Summer Series Main Events of the year before the GUKPT returns for its autumnal stages leading up to the Grand Final back in London in November. Giving a taste of tournaments to come, the London Summer Series 5 Main Event will be a one-off £750 No Limit Hold’em freezeout with a 12k starting stack and 45 minute clock – rounding off the five sets of summer tournaments in style.
