There's less than a week to go now until the next stop on the GUKPT calendar in Cardiff. The eight-day festival runs from Sunday 24 to Sunday 31 May and features a packed 14-event schedule.
Top of the bill of course is the £500+£50 Main Event which has a pair of opening day flights starting at 1pm on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 May. Stacks start at 20,000 chips with a guaranteed prize pool of £100,000 up for grabs.If the £550 buy-in is a little steep, there are plenty of opportunities to qualify on the cheap in advance. There's a live satellite at the G Casino in Cardiff at 7pm this Tuesday (19 May) with two seats guaranteed. It's a £25 buy-in affair with unlimited rebuys and a double add-on. A similar event follows on Thursday with a £500 GUKPT voucher up for grabs (you'll have to make up the extra £50 if you want to play the Main Event, alternatively you can use it to enter a variety of side events). It's also a £25 rebuy and starts at 7pm.There are ample opportunities to qualify during the festival week itself, starting on Sunday 24 May where 10 seats are guaranteed in a £30 Super Satellites. Further qualifiers will run throughout the week.If online is more you thing, there are qualifiers running at Grosvenor Poker every Tuesday and Sunday with two seats guaranteed. The Cardiff festival looks like being a cracker. Check out the full schedule at GUKPT.com.
