GUKPT Summer Series Satellites now available on SkyPoker.com

[tikay]

The GUKPT "Summer Series" comprise SIX Events, held in 6 different Venues.

They are £550 buy-in Events. In fact, they are "Re-Entry" Events - which is NOT the same as a Rebuy, or a Freezeout, it's a sort of hybrid. I don't imagine many players will "re-enter", so the Qualifiers are "just" for the £550 original entry cost, which is £550.
 
They are two day Events - Saturday & Sunday -with 10,000 starting chips, & 45 min blinds all the way.

They run in un-connected pairs, starting as follows.....

Saturday May 14th & Sunday May 15th. (That's not this weekend, but NEXT weekend).

Venues - Brighton, and Dundee. You will be able to qualify for EITHER. You just choose, after qualifying, which one you wish to play.

In due course, GUKPT "Summer Series" qualifiers for all 6 legs will be run on Sky Poker, but for now, it is ONLY for Brighton & Dundee, as we are short of time, as per.

The qualifying format (I'll list the days, cost etc shortly) will be almost identical to the quallies Sky Poker ran for the £1,070 GUKPT "Biggies" recently, EXCEPT that the Final (direct buy-in £110) will be on TUESDAY of next week, & ONE IN FIVE will get a seat, not 1 in 10 as per the bigger events.

Note that, as previous, & as per our agreement with GUKPT, we will NOT be running any satellites or qualifiers for any GUKPT Events on Wednesdays - they will run every night EXCEPT Wednesdays.

The Summer Series will continue in June & July as follows......

June 11th/12th - Bolton & Plymouth.

July 9th & 10th - Sheffield & Southampton

After that, the GUKPT reverts to the £1,000 buy-in, beginning with Luton in August, then Coventry in October, Blackpool in November, & finally for this year, The Vic, also in November, though The Vic will be a £2,500 buy-in jobbie.

Quallies for ALL of these will be on Sky Poker, nightly except Wednesdays, pretty much non-stop for the rest of 2011, just as long as the demand from you guys is there.

However, the current qualifying period, starting tomorrow, through to next Tuesday, is for BRIGHTON OR DUNDEE ONLY.

When we ran quallies for Walsall, which was a £1,070 Event, we only had 4 days of qualifying due to late agreement of the deal with Grosvenor, but we got 3 Qualifiers in, so we were pretty pleased with that.

Again, this time, we only have Thursday until Tuesday (the Final will be next Tuesday).

Once Brighton & Dundee are done & dusted, I hope we will open up quallies for the rest of the Summer Series.

Confirmed soft site? Maybe......

The GUKPT Summer Satellites are now in the Sky Poker Lobby.

There are £5.20 jobbies at 15.15, 18.15, & 19.30, & they feed into tonight's Semi-Final @ 21.15, to which you can also buy-in direct for £24.

The Final is next Tuesday.
