The GUKPT is the longest running poker tour in the UK and has featured nine legs in total during Season 11 including a hugely successful 314-entry GUKPT Blackpool last week, plus visits to Manchester, Edinburgh, Walsall, Leeds and Luton, and two stops in London. This year’s champions include GUKPT Passport winner Andy Hills, who took down GUKPT Manchester in March, GUKPT legend Ali Mallu who won GUKPT Reading in May and John Eames who won GUKPT Luton last month.
British poker pro Marc Wright was last year’s GUKPT Grand Final champion after beating a 276-entry field for a career-best score of £132,380. Wright, now 30, turned pro after quitting his job in retail to concentrate on the game. The last GUKPT in Blackpool was won by Daniel Corbett for £87,280.
