Barely has the dust settled on GUKPT 2023 then it’s time to start planning for the first event of 2024! GUKPT London is taking place at its traditional home – the iconic Poker Room at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino – and will feature a total of 11 different live tournaments from January 4 to 14.
The £1,250 Main Event starts January 11 with other schedule highlights including the Mini Main, the new Super Mystery Bounty NLH 50/50 (with four starting flights) and Super Mystery Bounty PLO 50/50, a PLO 4/5/6 tourney, the £2k High Roller and the £550 GUKPT Cup.
2024 National Poker League
GUKPT London will be the first qualifying event in the 2024 National Poker League. Players will have dozens of opportunities next year to garner NPL points and it’s certainly a prize worth aiming for – Grosvenor has bumped up the value of the 2024 Player of the Year prize to a £75,000 sponsorship package. Players can accrue points at all GUKPTs, the UK Poker Open in February and Goliath in July, the brand new 888poker LIVE UK Poker League and all the 25/50 series.
