GUKPT Blackpool under way

Monday, 9 November 2009

The GUKPT has got out its bucket and spade and headed to the seaside this week for the Blackpool leg of the tour. The action at The G Sandcastle Casino on the South Promenade is already underway with the opening £100 side event scheduled to come to a conclusion later tonight.

Top of the bill of course is the £1,000+£60 Main Event with Day 1A starting at 2pm on Thursday 12th November. There’s a further opening Day 1B on Friday with the action continuing on Saturday and Sunday. Satellites for the Main Event run at The Sandcastle at 2pm today, tomorrow and Wednesday with a further qualifier at 11pm on Wednesday.


Blackpool is the last stop before the Grand Final at The Vic later this month and the race for the GUKPT Leader Board is really hotting up. Martin Silke sits at the top closely followed by John Miller, David Johnson, Sunny Chattha, Richard Gryko and Jeff Kimber.


Last year’s event was won by Brian Clarke who collected a first prize of £96,500.
