The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) enters its 14th season on January 23rd when it stops off at the famous Grosvenor Victoria Casino where it will call home until February 2nd.
GUKPT London gives players the chance to see a handful of new-look tournaments in action for the first time.
The GUKPT Midi Main Event gets the festival underway, guaranteeing £100,000 for a £560 buy-in. GUKPT as several similarly-sized Main Events on its 2020 schedule, but this particular one is in addition to the massive £300,000 guaranteed Main Event.
Speaking of which, Grosvenor has increased the buy-in for GUKPT London from £1,110 to £1,500. It is an increase of 26% and it remains to be seen what effect, if any, the higher buy-in has on the attendance figures. The £1,500 is broken down to £1,350 for the prize pool and £150 in tournament fees.
Located above the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, it offers an impressive 35 poker tables as well as slots, electronic games and other table games. The Poker Room is home to some of Europe's biggest tournaments including the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) and the European Poker Tour (EPT). The Poker Room is located on the second floor of the Grosvenor Victoria Casino is one of the largest and most iconic in Europe. There are a total of 35 tables at the venue which is also home to some of the largest poker tours including the GUKPT, EPT, and WHUP. Daily cash games and tournaments cater to beginners and pro’s alike.
One man guaranteed to be playing for a share of the £300,000 guaranteed prize pool of the Main Event is Richard Kellett. Kellett won the National Poker League’s top prize, a £14,000 Diamond Package, during the previous season. The package awarded him entry to every GUKPT Main Event in 2020, a £2,000 accommodation package, merchandise, and a goodie bag.

Kellett showed incredible consistency last season, reaching four GUKPT Main Event final tables, six 25/25 Series final table, plus a trio of Deepstack final tables.
The other new addition to the schedule is a £5,000 High Roller event. GUKPT has shied away from such buy-ins in the past, but looks to be dipping its toes in the water in the capital to see how they get on. One would imagine they will perform well in and around London, but struggle further north. We shall wait and see.
