What’s on in August!

By Mad Harper
Live Events News

There’s plenty of poker to get your teeth into in August with glamorous destinations all over the globe, as well as lots of tournaments in the UK.

 

In the UK: Goliath + more!

Europe’s biggest tourney - Grosvenor Casinos’ massive £250,000 guarantee Goliath event is taking place at the Ricoh Arena starting Thursday (July 27) and we have two fantastic special offers for both weekends of the event.

 

We’re celebrating Redtooth Poker’s debut at this year’s Goliath with a fantastic discount on twin rooms, offering savings of £80 for a two-night package this coming weekend. A twin room at the DoubleTree at the Ricoh will cost just £199 – checking in this Friday, July 28, and staying through to Sunday. We have the same great deal for players in the giant Goliath Main Event – with two-night twin rooms at the DoubleTree from Friday, August 4 through to Sunday August 6.

 

Redtooth’s Goliath debut

The flagship Redtooth Poker €25,000 guarantee, £75 + £12 buy-in “The Big One” takes place at the GUKPT Goliath on Saturday, July 29. On the Sunday there’s a £30 + £8 buy-in Win the Button tournament. The first of eight dealer-dealt legs is also taking place at The Goliath, with the £60 + £12 RPT Tag Team event.

 

Goliath

The Goliath is a chance for players of all kinds to compete in Europe’s biggest tournament for just £100 + £20. The £250,000 guarantee Goliath Main Event comes with seven start flights and headlines 11 days of rip-roaring action – so get yourself booked in now to avoid disappointment.

 

Sky Poker Tour

After four years of ‘hibernation’, the Sky Poker Tour Manchester is BACK with a fantastic £40,000 guaranteed tournament at the Manchester 235 casino. The three-day event starts August 4 with a very affordable £220 buy-in. The last Sky Poker Tour event was in 2013 when Mark Chantler won £14,985 Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.

 

 

 

Redtooth Poker Tour

The chance to win a seat in the Redtooth VEGAS100 2018 event comes to Bournemouth in August. Redtooth Poker Leg 2 takes place at the Grosvenor Casino Bournemouth on Sunday, August 13. Tickets are exclusively and only available via MainEventTravel.com and we have special packages for seat+hotel bookings. Check here to see full details. The Redtooth Poker Tour comprises eight dealer dealt legs taking place around the UK & Europe with the winner of each leg winning a seat into VEGAS100 2018.

 

The final table from EVERY leg will also win a UK National Final seat, a total of 90 seats awarded throughout the year! Redtooth Poker’s VEGAS100 competition has revolutionised pub poker in the UK with the country’s top 100 poker players – found via regional, national and online qualifiers – getting the chance to compete for the title of UK Pub Poker Champion in the poker capital of the world, Las Vegas.

Mackenzie is a regular in poker tournaments in his native Scotland and has quite a remarkable record in low buy-in events with cashes in more than 90 events in Scotland and $105,631 in winnings.
