GUKPT Cup Blackpool 2026
7 Nov 2026 · Grosvenor Casino Blackpool, United Kingdom
The GUKPT Cup is event #10 at Blackpool: GBP 500 plus GBP 50 for a GBP 50,000 guarantee, played over the festival's final weekend.
Where it sits on the schedule
The Cup starts at 1pm on the Saturday, an hour after the Main Event's Day 2, and finishes on the Sunday. That is deliberate: it gives anyone who fell short of the Main Event money a substantial tournament to move into rather than going home.
Structure
50,000 starting chips on a 30-minute clock, sixteen levels on Day 1, with registration open to the start of Day 2. Day 2 moves to a 40-minute clock and plays to a finish.
