Grosvenor Casinos Unveils 2024 GUKPT and 25/50 Schedule

The 2023 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) concluded over the weekend, with Paul Vas Nunes emerging victoriously from the 2,000 buy-in Grand Final Main Event for 140,000. Fans of the GUKPT do not get much respite before they are back in action because the first leg of the 2024 GUKPT, the 18th consecutive season the tour has run, shuffles up and deals on January 4.

The Grosvenor Victoria in London, affectionately known as The Vic, is where the 2024 GUKPT begins. After London, the popular tour heads north to Manchester at the start of February before ending the second month of the year in Coventry for the GUKPT Open.

A trip to the seaside town of Blackpool follows in March, with the 2024 edition of GUKPT Leeds running from April 4. The poker hotbed that is Luton is the sixth stop of the season, with the GUKPT returning to The Vic in mid-May.

Early June sees the 2024 GUKPT head north of the border to Edinburgh. The 2024 GUKPT Goliath, the daddy of low buy-in events, is penciled in for July 25 to August 4; it again takes place in Coventry.

A return to Luton is planned in September before the traditional penultimate stop of the campaign in Blackpool in late October-early November sets up the eagerly anticipated Grand Final at the back end of November.

2023 GUKPT Main Event Results

The GUKPT put up some impressive figures throughout 2023, leading to some massive top prizes the various champions enjoyed.

Jonathan McCann triumphed in the opening event in London, outlasting 458 opponents on his way to collecting 89,600. Calogero Morreale took down the Manchester Main Event for 106,700 and used it as a platform for an incredible season, all but locking up a 40,000 sponsorship package for 2024 by topping the National Poker League.

Lin Chen won 65,310 in Blackpool, before Ludovic Geilich became the GUKPT Edinburgh champion in his native Scotland; Geilich banked 79,590.

In the first of two Luton-based Main Events, Christopher Day came out on top and padded his bankroll with 88,150 before Matthew Davenport, the 2023 National Poker League champion, helped himself to a career-best 116,200 in Coventry.

The 2023 Goliath attracted a ridiculous crowd of 11,493 runners, and Alex Todd was its worthy champion. Todd took home 176,860 despite the 150 buy-in spectacular ending in a six-handed deal! That is how huge the Goliath is.

Weixiao Liao ran amok in London and came away with 75,501, with Stuart Rutter becoming a two-time GUKPT champion in Luton, a victory good for 62,368.

Leeds was next up, and it will always be remembered fondly by Kostas Patsourakis, who scooped 78,419. Ian Gascoigne's victory in Blackpool came with a career-best 62,198, with Paul Vas Nunes wrapping up the 18th GUKPT season with a 140,000 score and victory in the Grand Final.

2024 Grosvenor 25/50 Schedule

Grosvenor Casinos also announced a bustling schedule for its 25/50 series in 2024. Almost 60 such tournaments run up and down the United Kingdom throughout the new year, giving low-stakes players the opportunity to win big and become a poker champion.

The Grosvenor 25/50 tournaments cost 250 to enter and boast a 50,000 prize pool. However, most award much more than 50,000. Take the recent Liverpool 25/50 as an example. It drew in 404 entrants, awarded 83,820, with Joshua Jones taking home 21,050 for his impressive victory.
