Good luck for the APAT Qualifiers in this at the weekend
Here is a press release that explains all
£100,000 GUKPT Champion of Champions Tournament - Player List & Information
On Saturday 5th December at 2pm, the GUKPT Champion of Champions Tournament will take place at the G Casino in Luton. The prize pool of £100,000 has been entirely provided by Grosvenor/G Casinos and their online partner Blue Square Poker. It is a two day tournament and will conclude on Sunday 6th December.
This is the second year that this unique event has been held and the only way to earn a seat into it is to win your way in. Both main events and side events on the GUKPT count as qualifying tournaments. There were also a small number of additional seats which were won via non-GUKPT events such as APAT (the Amateur Poker Association & Tour), the GUKPT National League and the Champions Poker League.
The number of starting chips that each player will receive varies, depending on the size of the buy in of the qualifying event won. Most players will start with 5,000 or 6,000 chips, but there are some players who have won more than one tournament, who will start with significantly more. The maximum starting stack is capped at 25,000, but there are only two players (Karl Mahrenholz and Richard Gryko) who will start with this much.
There is still a chance to qualify for the event as all the side events (up until and including Friday) at the Champion of Champions festival in Luton this week count as the last possible chance to earn a seat into the event.
The prize money for the event is £100,000, however the prize stucture will be determined on Saturday by all players who are there in time for the start of the tournament. Players will be presented with three structures for how the prize money will be distributed and asked to vote on which option they would prefer. Only players who attend the event will be eligible to claim a prize.
Players who have qualified but have not visited the G Casino in Luton before are advised to bring some photo ID with them, as this will be required in order to become a member. All players are also advised that the G Casino in Luton has a very strict dress code - trainers, ripped or torn jeans, hoodies and sportswear are not permitted.
