The UK Poker Open kicks this Friday with the £440 Mystery Bounty Day and the two-day £115 Ladies UK Championship, hosted by Grosvenor Ambassador Katie Swift, (pictured) a passionate champion of Ladies' events.
She said: “The UK Poker Open is actually going to be my first live event of the year so I’m really looking forward to it. It’s fantastic that a new festival has been created that has a £1 million guaranteed Main Event. British poker players are buzzing about it. Coventry is also a great location for players and it’s my personal favourite Grosvenor Casino. Fingers crossed for success there next month!”
Grosvenor Poker announced an ADDED £4000 Road to Vegas Packages will be amongst the prizes up for offer in the bounty event.
The Main Event – known as the UK Open – starts March 1 and comes with a £1 million guaranteed prize pool.
The UK Open Main Event features a £1,500 buy-in, a 30,000 starting stack, and has five different starting flights, 3 flights feature a 40-minute clock, and 2 turbo flights with 20-minute clock. Late registration is open until Day 2, and Day 2 & 3 have a 60-minute clock

Ambassador Jamie Nixon, who won his first GUKPT title at the Grand Final in London at the end of last year, said: “The UK Poker Open looks incredible.

Things are going from strength to strength and I can’t wait to be involved in this massive event.”
Nixon was among several players who won seats worth £1,500 for the UK Poker Open at the Grand Final. Several more scooped tickets after heading the end of Day 1 chip counts at the recent GUKPT London Main Event including Devan-Kumar Patel, Rajiv Sakaria, and Steven Watts.
