GUKPT Online Festival 21st -25th July 2008
The first ever online GUKPT festival takes place next week on Blue Square Poker from July 21st -25th. It features five events, with a total of $20,000 being added to the prize pools by the tour sponsor. It kicks off on Monday 21st of July with a $200 NL hold'em freezeout and concludes with a $500 NL hold'em main event on Friday 25th July. The events all feature similar blinds structures to the live GUKPT events and have generous starting stacks.
As per the live tournaments on the tour, the winners of each of the five events will also bag seats in the much anticipated Champion of Champion's tournament, which will take place at the G casino in Luton this December. The winner of the main event will also win a free seat into the tour's £3,000 Grand Final. GUKPT ranking points are up for grabs for all players who make final tables during the festival and Nik Persaud, who currently tops the leader board, is expected to play and will be looking to extend his lead even further.
