The Final Countdown: London’s GUKPT Grand Final Festival
The final series in the year-long tour which has seen the GUKPT visit every G and Grosvenor Casino in a non-stop sequence of Main Events, Summer Series and Club Championships brings the last games of 2010 back to London’s Victoria Casino this week. Along with the World Heads Up Championship (19th-22nd), the full festival runs until Sunday 28th November and provides a last chance to take down a packed-field poker tournament and secure a place in December’s Champion of Champions £150,000 freeroll (for more information please see
http://www.grosvenorukpokertour.com/champion.shtml
). In 2009 the Grand Final was won by Tony Cascarino, beating a field of 183 for a prize of £168,800, and with a bigger buy-in next week’s Main Event will see a new champion crowned.
For the players at the top of the GUKPT Leaderboard, headed by Blackpool’s champion David Johnson, these tournaments represent the final challenge which will determine who will be crowned this year’s Player of the Year and take down the £20,000 top prize. Judging by the turnout at last year’s Grand Final events, there will be enough ranking points floating around to give players like Alli Mallu and Neil Channing a genuine eleventh-hour shot at the title, and this should make for an especially exciting week of poker, hosted in the excellent atmosphere of the Vic’s 24 hour poker room.
The full schedule:
Thursday 18th November: £300 + £30 NL Hold'em Freezeout 7.30pm (2 days)
Friday 19th November: £500 + £50 PL Omaha Double Chance Freezeout 7.30pm (2 days)
Saturday 20th November: £500 + £50 NL Hold'em Freezeout 5pm (2 days)
Sunday 21st November: £200 + £20 NL Hold'em Freezeout 5pm (1 day)
Monday 22nd November: £300 + £30 1 Rebuy or Add On 7.30pm (2 days)
Tuesday 23rd November: £200 + £20 NL Hold'em Rebuy 7.30pm (2 days)
Wednesday 24th November: £350 + £35 NLHE F/O Super Satellite to Main Event 7.30pm (1 day)
Thursday 25th November: £2,500 + £125 NL Hold'em Main Event Day 1a 2pm (3 days)
Friday 26th November: £2,500 + £125 NL Hold'em Main Event Day 1b 2pm (3 days)
Sunday 28th November: £150 + £15 NL Hold'em Bounty Tournament 5pm (1 day)
The £2,500 Grand Final Main Event has a starting stack of 25,000 with an hour clock, making it one of the best-structured events in the UK; there are several satellites this week at the Victoria Casino – £100 NL rebuy events on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 2pm – to give everyone a chance to qualify for a fraction of the buy-in. There’s also still time to qualify online: a £250 freezeout is running on

on 21st November at 8pm with two seats guaranteed.

ress Release
The final heads-up matches of the 2010 WHUPC have come to a conclusion this evening, after four intense days of one-on-one tournament action at London's Grosvenor Victoria Casino. Players including John Tabatabai, Vicky Coren, JP Kelly, Richard Gryko, Marius Torbergsen and previous champions Jeff Kimber and Bambos Xanthos entered the £2,000 freezeout series, as well as 21 other tough competitors from a variety of poker backgrounds both live and online. The semifinals pitted Nik Persaud against his friend Toby Lewis, and eventual runner up Leon Louis against Jeff Kimber, while the event was streamed live with commentary throughout the day.
Final results:
1st Nik Persaud - £30,000
2nd Leon Louis - £15,000
3rd Toby Lewis - £5,500
3rd Jeff Kimber - £5,500

Nicolas Irving 104100
Barny Boatman 82300
Bruce Atkinson 72700
Jeff Kimber 71100
Darren Pearce 66600
Michael Piper 64900

You would think with the ukipt that G would be pulling out the stops. Reporting is an important part of a successful tour IMO!
