GUKPT Blackpool publishes its full schedule: 13 events, GBP 500,000 guaranteed, 30 October to 10 November

Grosvenor's tour page now carries the full GUKPT Blackpool schedule, and the headline figure is more than GBP 500,000 guaranteed across thirteen numbered events between Friday 30 October and Tuesday 10 November 2026. Blackpool is the last stop before the Grand Final at The Victoria in London.\n\nThe Main Event, event #8, is GBP 1,100 plus a GBP 150 fee for GBP 250,000 guaranteed, with three Day 1 flights — Thursday 5 November at 1pm, Friday 6 November at noon and a turbo flight the same night at 9pm — then Day 2 on the Saturday and Day 3 on the Sunday. Players start with 20,000 chips on a 60-minute clock, the slowest structure of the week, with registration open to the start of Day 2.\n\nThe Mini Main is the volume event: GBP 220 plus GBP 30 for GBP 100,000 guaranteed, with five Day 1 flights including a turbo, 20,000 chips and 40-minute levels. Between them sit two high rollers — a GBP 1,500 no-limit event guaranteed at GBP 100,000 with a 100,000 starting stack, and a GBP 1,000 pot-limit Omaha high roller guaranteed at GBP 25,000.\n\n## The cheap end is where the structure gets interesting\n\nWhat stands out on the full schedule is how much of it is under GBP 250. The Kav Cup on Saturday 31 October is GBP 40 plus GBP 20 with a GBP 40 add-on, the lowest entry of the festival. The Deepstack on 5 November gives 50,000 chips for GBP 150 — two and a half times the Main Event's starting stack for an eighth of the price — and keeps registration open to the end of level nine, the longest window on the schedule. And the festival's actual finale is not played in Lancashire at all: the Online Closer, GBP 100 plus GBP 10 for GBP 15,000 guaranteed, runs in the Grosvenor Poker lobby over the evenings of 9 and 10 November.\n\nThe schedule is also unusually satellite-heavy. Main Event Target Cashout satellites at GBP 140 run on three separate nights with ten seats guaranteed each, a turbo version on the Friday guarantees five more, and two High Roller Turbo satellites at GBP 170 guarantee two seats apiece. Online feeder satellites start at GBP 1 and ladder up to GBP 1,250 in live event credit, which Grosvenor says does not expire.\n\nOne detail worth reading before entering anything: tickets won online are redeemed at the cash desk and can be used as full or part payment into any GUKPT tournament, with change given as venue tournament credit when a larger ticket is used for a cheaper event.
