GUKPT 2011 Coventry details announced

The Grosvenor United Kingdom Poker Tour (GUKPT) will be visiting Luton next month, but details of the subsequent stop on the tour have just been announced.

The GUKPT Luton event runs from August 14-21, culminating in the main event, which will take place between the 19th and 21st. Thereafter, the GUKPT moves north from just outside London into the West Midlands of England with the Coventry event in October. Fore more detailed information, check the GUPKT Luton schedule.

Beginning with a £30 (€34/$48) Rebuy Super Satellite on Sunday, October 9, the GUKPT Coventry event comes to a conclusion with the three-day £1000+£70 (€1,136/$1,612+€80/$113) No-Limit Hold’em main event from October 14-16.

As usual, there will be plenty of side events to interest any size of bankroll, with a £100+£10 (€114/$161+€11.40/$16.10) No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout, as well as £300+£30 (€341/$483+€34/$48) No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout on offer.

Additionally, Coventry will be running a £150+£15 (€170/$242+€17/$24.20) Omaha Double Chance Freezeout, as well as a £150+£15 (€170/$242+€17/$24.20) No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout Super Satellite to the main event, and much more besides.

The G Casino is situated at Coventry City Football Club’s Ricoh Arena and includes a comfortable 120-seat poker room. But that’s not all. While waiting to take a seat in any event, players can also enjoy the venue’s two late-night bars, their Indian restaurant and even live entertainment on the Friday and Saturday nights.

So, no matter if you’re getting ready to enter the main event or just looking to enjoy a night’s viewing of live poker, the G Casino will be a welcoming venue for all.

The GUKPT – which is the longest-running series of live poker festivals in the UK – then moves on to Blackpool after the Coventry stop for the penultimate leg of the tour from November 7-13.

After that, the top-ranked tour players will pitch up in London for the Grand Final, which runs from November 24-December 4. Details will follow soon on both events.
