The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) had been making a stop at the Grosvenor G Casino in Blackpool since October 29 as part of its eighth season. The highlight of the festival was the GUKPT Main Event, which Adam Wilkinson won. He took home £55,035 in prize money for his victory.
In total, guaranteed prize pools of more than £500,000 were announced for the Blackpool festival. The Main Event had a buy-in of £1,250 and promised a guarantee of £250,000. The tournament attracted a total of 190 entries. This resulted in a prize pool of £237,500, which was divided among the top 25 finishers. With his victory, Wilkinson secured £55,035 for first place.
Now that the tournament in Blackpool has concluded, the GUKPT is turning its attention to the grand season finale in London. From November 19 to 29, the tour will be hosted at the historic Casino The Victoria. The Grand Final will feature a Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of £500,000.
