The format change is the story
Grosvenor pays 15 per cent of each Day 1 flight that evening, and plays down to 10 per cent, who bag a stack for Day 2. A min-cash no longer depends on surviving into a second day, which matters most to the players travelling furthest for a £300 tournament.
Event 1 — the Behemoth
£260 plus £40, £250,000 guaranteed, 25,000 starting chips, unlimited re-entry, three days. Nine Day 1 flights: 1A and 1B online on the Sunday and Monday evenings, then 1C to 1H live at Coventry from Wednesday to Friday on 30-minute levels, and 1I as a Saturday-morning turbo. Day 2 plays Saturday afternoon on a 40-minute clock and Day 3 on the Sunday.
The other four
- **Event 2, High Roller** — £900+£100, £50,000 guaranteed, Day 1 Wednesday 3pm from 100,000 chips on a 40-minute clock, Day 2 Thursday noon. - **Event 3, Behemoth Cup** — £360+£40, £30,000 guaranteed, Day 1 Saturday 5pm from 50,000 chips, Day 2 Sunday. - **Event 4, PLO 4 Card** — £150+£15, £10,000 guaranteed, Sunday 2pm, one day. - **Event 5, Behemoth Closer** — £180+£20, £10,000 guaranteed, Sunday 4pm, one day.
Satellites
A £60+£10 Super Cashout on Tuesday evening guarantees 30 seats. A £100+£10 High Roller Turbo Cashout runs at noon on Wednesday, and £60+£10 Behemoth Cashout satellites play at 8pm on Thursday and Friday. All are cashout satellites — they pay out in tournament value rather than only seats.
Tickets won online
Feeders start at £1 and ladder through £5 and £30 to live event credit worth £200, £300, £500 and £1,250. Credit is handed over at the cash desk as full or part payment for any Behemoth festival tournament, with any balance settled there; a ticket worth more than the tournament it is spent on returns the difference as venue tournament credit. Grosvenor states the credit does not expire.
