- Leg 2 of the 2019 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) sees the long-running festival head to the Grosvenor Casino Bury New Road in Manchester where a £200,000 guaranteed Main Event is scheduled. Manchester has hosted a GUKPT festival on each of the previous 12 seasons of the tour and it remains a popular destination for GUKPT fans.
- 2020 GUKPT Dates All Grosvenor casinos poker competitions are suspended from 9am Tuesday the 17th March 2020 Because the wellbeing of our customers and teams is our utmost priority, the risk resulting from the Coronavirus (COVID 19) outbreak means we are suspending all poker competitions in Grosvenor casinos until further notice.
I’ve got a lot of love for the poker scene in Manchester, and after another great week up there, it’s only grown stronger. Of course the Grosvenor Casino on Bury New Road is the host location for the Kav Cup, the charity tournament held in the name of my old mate Derek Kavanagh, who four years down the line is still bravely refusing to give in to his terminal cancer diagnosis that included.
Manchester has hosted a GUKPT festival on each of the previous 12 seasons of the tour and it remains a popular destination for GUKPT fans. The late Dave “El Blondie” Colclough won the inaugural GUKPT Manchester Main Event, outlasting 284-opponents to scoop £88,300.
Marc Goodwin took down the tournament the following year and won £90,420, the largest prize awarded on this particular stop. Other notable winners include Chris Moorman’s father Simon Moorman, Kuljinder Sidhu, Sunny Chattha, Rhys Jones, Ali Mallu and Andrew Hills.
Last year’s champion was Adam Lulat who came out on top of a 241-strong field to lock up a £68,930 payday. Unfortunately for Lulat, he was forced by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to hand over his entire winnings plus an additonal £2,840 in his personal bank account as he had served a jail sentence for his part in a £40 million money laundering scheme. In addition to the jail time, Lulat and five accomplices were ordered to pay back £590,000 but Lulat only paid £1 as he claimed to have no available assets.

The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) heads into its 14th season when 2020 kicks off and it looks like another action-packed season is on the cards.
GUKPT has unveiled the dates for the 2020 season and you’re in for a treat if you though last season’s schedule was perfect because it is more of the same from the guys at Grosvenor.
Grosvenor Casino Manchester Poker Schedule Of Events
The 2020 schedule is almost a perfect match for 2019’s with the only difference being the Luton and London legs have switched around. Last year, the GUKPT travelled to Luton on the fourth leg and then onto London for Leg 5. In 2020, London is the fourth leg with Luton taking place at a slightly later date.
You also need to pencil in July 29th through August 9th if you want to get involved in the massive Goliath event. No details, apart from the dates, have been announced, but we would expect at least a £500,000 guarantee for a small buy-in based on previous events.
Lee Reynolds triumphed in the 2019 Goliath after outlasting a record-breaking field of 7,583 opponents. Reynolds walked away with £64,61 after a five-handed deal involving Tom Jones, Cristian Tamas, Derek Borwick, and Christopher Bartlett. You can check out a recap of the 2019 Goliath action here.

GUKPT Season 13 Main Event Results
The 13th GUKPT season was highly successful with all eight Main Events, and the Grand Final, surpassing their guarantees. There’s definitely still a demand for mid-stakes live poker tournaments with solid structures in the United Kingdom and the players came out to support the tour.
An anonymous player took down the opening event in London and walked away with £100,000. How they’ll cash the cheque with “Anon” written on the front is anyone’s guess.
Other 2019 GUKPT champions included Bernar Maregedze who won in Manchester, Nathan Slater, Chris Louch, Cheuk Lee, and Brett Angell who was the Leeds champion. Vikrum Mehta and Matt Eardley were victorious in Luton and Blackpool respectively.

Ben Winsor enjoyed the most impressive result on the 13th edition of the GUKPT. Winsor won the £2,650 Grand Final Main Event to pad his bankroll with £188,610 this becoming the tour’s first-ever double winner of the Grand Final. No doubt he’ll be going for the hat-trick in 2020.
