GUKPT Blackpool 2026 Main Event
5 Nov 2026 · Grosvenor Casino Blackpool, United Kingdom
The GUKPT Blackpool Main Event is event #8 of the festival: GBP 1,100 plus GBP 150, guaranteed at GBP 250,000, with three starting flights on 5 and 6 November 2026.
Structure
20,000 starting chips, a 60-minute clock and ten levels on each Day 1. Late registration stays open until the start of Day 2, so a player can still buy in after the flights have finished. Day 1C, late on the Friday evening, is a turbo.
Routes in
Must-play cashout satellites run through the week from GBP 135, several of them guaranteeing five or ten seats. Grosvenor's online feeder satellites start at GBP 1 and pay out live event credit rather than a seat; that credit is taken to the cash desk and used as full or part payment.
