The 2012 season was to see the GUKPT host an event abroad for the first time. A tournament was scheduled to take place in Dublin, Ireland but was later cancelled. A new tournament was arranged in Blankenberge, Belgium though it only managed to attract 95 entrants. Subsequent seasons have not featured tournaments outside the United Kingdom. Forty-year-old Les Fenton is the last man standing of the Goliath Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT), a live poker event that lasted 6 days, had a buy-in of £100 + £20, and attracted 1,954 participants. As the champion of the event, Fenton not only received a cash prize of £31,210, but also a ticket to the GUKPT Champion of Champions. The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) kicked off its 2020 season in style over the weekend when 379 players piled into The Poker Room at the famous Grosvenor Victoria Casino in.
The £1,000 + £110 buy-in Main Event takes place October 10-13 with unlimited re-entries. Players get a 20,000 starting stack and 60 minute levels. Late registration is open until the start of Day 2. The packed schedule also includes an £150 Omaha 4/5/6 event, several NL tournaments and a £150 75/75 Bounty tournament – plus, of course, lots of satellites and cash games.
MainEvent Travel sponsors the GUKPT all in triangles so do look out for them on the live stream from Leg 7 in Luton.
GUKPT Luton is always a hugely popular stop – and a destination that’s been on the GUKPT calendar since the very start of the tour in 2007. However, this is the first time that Luton has featured on the tour scheduled twice in one year - the GUKPT also visited Luton in June with a €10,000 guarantee Main Event.
Grosvenor Ambassador Jeff Kimber said: “GUKPT Luton always feels like the start of the ‘business end’ of the poker season, with three big buy-in events - Luton, Blackpool and the Grand Final - coming in quick succession. I've made the final table twice in Luton without managing a podium finish so I feel like I have some unfinished business there. I can't wait.”
Fellow Ambassador Joe Beevers added: “It’s Christmas quarter! The best three legs on the tour for me! Hard work to be done Luton, Blackpool and Grand Final at the Vic!”
Some big names have been emerged victorious at previous editions of GUKPT Luton; the roll call of previous winners includes the likes of Dave Clark, Sam Trickett, Richard Gryko, Neil Channing, Charles Chattha, Jamie O’Connor, Adam Reynolds and John Eames, while Driton Haxhiaj has won twice – in both 2013 (for £42,750) and three years later in 2016 for £61,520.
June’s Main Event was won by British player Chris Louch. The amateur player from Southampton topped a field of 382 entries to take home a career-best prize of £50,550.
Don’t miss the rest of this year’s GUKPT. After GUKPT Luton, it’s time for GUKPT Blackpool - Leg 8 in November, and the GUKPT Grand Final from November 18 to December 1.
The GUKPT is Grosvenor Poker’s flagship tour and the longest-running poker tour in the UK. 2019 is the GUKPT’s 13th consecutive season and promises to provide another record-breaking year with nine action-packed legs around the country – with a combined prize pool guarantee of £1,700,000. Buy-ins range from £500+60 to £2,500+150 with guarantees totalling between £100,000 and £500,000.

Devilfish wins Euro Finals of Poker Main Event
The Devilfish is officially back! Just over two weeks after winning a side event at the Irish Poker Championships, Dave 'The Devilfish' Ulliott has won his first main event of the year. The most successful UK player of all time has added €152,000 and a diamond bracelet to his tournament spoils at the Euro Finals of Poker at the Aviation Club in Paris. When he has the chip lead, the Devilfish is usually devastating and that's just what happened here, he started the day as chip leader and bulldozed a final table that included Paul Testud and Theo Jorgensen. He is now on his way to Deauville for the next leg of the EPT.
'What a great start to the year,' said Ulliott after the event. 'I was originally going to go to the Aussie Millions but changed my mind and I'm damned glad I did. I'm off to Deauville now to make it a hat-trick.'
Paul Barnes, CEO of DevilfishPoker.com said, 'It seems clear what Devilfish's New Year resolution was: win as many tournaments as possible in 2009, and boy is he on a roll. Well done Devilfish'
GCBPT Grand Final on Setanta
Poker is all over UK screens at the moment and now we have heard that last year's Gala Coral British Poker Tour Grand Final is going to be televised on Thursday night on Setanta 2 between 8pm and 10pm. Just in case you don't know who won (It wasn't the Devilfish) we'll not ruin the surprise for you, but if you don't have Setanta check out our archive from last month.
GUKPT Side event Results
As we mentioned last week, a GUKPT side event is more than just a side event, and last week's festival in Brighton produced some noteworthy winners that will now be playing in the Champion of Champions event at the end of the year. Matt Perrins won the £200 NL event for £9,210 and Nicholas Heather won the £300 event for £14,190.
Then it was the turn of a big name, former Manchester Main Event champion Dave Colclough won the £100 PLO rebuy event for £9,740 and will be the first of many major names in the Champion's event. This was followed by Alexander Zeligman taking down the £100 event for £2,850 and at the end of the week Daniel Teymourian winning the £100 bounty event for £1,830.

But the real story of the week (Other than the main event) was surely local player Shana Casaletto, who won both the Friday £100 event for £2,850 and the £250 Saturday event for £8,210. Shana is only the second female to win a GUKPT event and the first player ever to win back to back events. This win means she will start the Champion of Champions event with more chips that all the other side event winners.
