Chris Webber Wins Big at GUKPT Summer Series

Christopher Webber was the biggest winner as the last two Grosvenor United Kingdom Poker Tour (GUKPT) Summer Series events were played out in Southampton and Sheffield.

Chris Webber, who picked up the largest cash prize of £10,390 (€11,780/$16,575) by outlasting a 65-player field in the Summer Series 3B’s £500 (€567/$798)+£50 (€56.70/$79.80) main event at the Grosvenor Casino Southampton, is the first player to collect two wins this series.

Steve Vigor left the GUKPT Southampton tournament with £3,300 (€3,742/$5,263) after winning the £200 (€227/$319) No-Limit Hold’em Double Chance Freezeout, Mukesh Morjaria pocketed £2,490 (€2,823/$3,972) for his £150 (€170/$239) No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout success, and Guijar Nitoo collected £1,025 (€1,162/$1,635) by taking the £100 (€113.40/$159.50) Bounty Booster event as well as £2,400 (€2,721/$3,827) for a second-place finish in the Double Chance Freezeout.

Meanwhile, further north in England, Michael Arnot took the top prize of £7,820 (€8,867/$12,470) for his £500 (€567/$798)+£50 (€56.70/$79.80) main event win at the Summer Series 3A at the G Casino Sheffield.

Garry Hallows might have finished third in the Sheffield main event for £3,910 (€4,433/$6,235), but he had a great few days after also picking up £1,260 (€1,428/$2,009) for a second place in the £150 (€170/$239) No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout side event as well as £1,460 (€1,655/$2,328) for his third spot in the £200 (€227/$319) No-Limit Hold’em Double Chance Freezeout.

Additonally, Matthew Christopher enjoyed some good fortune when winning the £200 (€227/$319) No-Limit Hold’em Double Chance Freezeout in Sheffield for £2,920 (€3,309/$4,656), as well as pocketing £1,720 (€1,949/$2,743) from the bounty event.

Also in Sheffield, Andrew Walker left with £1,680 (€1,903/$2,680) for lifting the £150 (€170/$239) freezeout title, while John Stokes took £2,455 (€2,781/$3,917) for winning the £100 (€113.40/$159.50) Bounty Booster.

The GUKPT schedule returns next month at Luton’s G Casino, when there will be an eight-day festival from August 14-21.

The £1,000 (€1,133/$1,595)+£70 (€79/$112) main event begins on Friday the 19th, with two separate starting sessions at 12:00 and 18:00 BST, and ends on the Sunday, when the first GUKPT autumn trophy is handed out.
