MainEvent Travel sponsors the GUKPT all in triangles so do look out for them on the GUKPT Blackpoollive stream hosted by Phil “The Tower” Heald.

The GUKPT has visited Blackpool every single year of the tour and awarded close to £3 million for the Main Event. Previous winners included Tom Middleton, Jonny Gray (2015, £69,050), Richard Trigg (2013, £53,000), Simon Deadman (2012, £49,200) and Yiannis Liperis who took down last year’s event for £84,250 after beating a 304-strong field.

Grosvenor Ambassador Jeff Kimber said: “GUKPT Blackpool is most definitely the ‘business end’ of the poker season and a great warm-up for the Grand Final. This is one of my favourite events of the year and I can't wait.”
