GUKPT 2012 Information
The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour 2012, in association with D4 Events, brings its exceptional dealer-dealt, slow-structured, live poker experience around the country. Since its inception in 2007, the GUKPT has awarded millions in prize money, while making Satellite qualification affordable for every pocket. The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour has evolved for 2012, bringing together eight Main Tour legs with a new set of four festivals featuring £500 Deep Stack and 6-Max Events to be held across the UK and, for the first time, beyond. With all festivals featuring the same side events culminating in 3-day £1,000 Main Events, plus £500 for the Deep Stack and 6-Max Events, the Grand Final returns to London for the £2,500 finale.
