GUKPT 2012 Promises Excitement
Today, Grosvenor Casinos kicked off the 2012 season of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour in Manchester. This year’s event promises a great deal of excitement for all runners and spectators, introducing two new legs and lucrative new events.
Traditionally, the GUKPT has stayed within English borders, never venturing outside of the area. This year, two new legs will see the tour expand across borders into Ireland and Belgium. Legs 5 and 6 will take place in Dublin (May 6) and Brussels (June 3), adding a bit of international flavour to the tournament series.
The tournament itself will also undergo some changes with the addition of four new Main Events. These events will include two deep stacks and two £500 six-max tournaments, adding a great deal of excitement for all those involved. Winners of this year’s events will also be granted seats in all of next year’s Main Event games.
The GUKPT’s next stop is in Walsall on March 3, and promises to be an exciting event. From there, the GUKPT will travel at least once a month to a new location across the UK. The final will take place at the Victoria in London sometime in December.
