The two six-figure headliners
The Main Event, event #6, costs GBP 1,800 plus GBP 200 and guarantees GBP 500,000 — double the Blackpool Main Event three weeks earlier. Three flights: Day 1A on Thursday 26 November, Day 1B at noon on Friday 27 November and a turbo Day 1C at 9pm the same night, with Day 2 on the Saturday and the final day on Sunday 29 November. Players start with 30,000 on a 60-minute clock, the slowest structure at the festival.
Ahead of it sits the GUKPT Midi, event #1, at GBP 1,100 plus GBP 150 for a GBP 250,000 guarantee — the same total buy-in that bought Blackpool's Main Event, which makes the Grand Final effectively a festival with two main events. It has four starting flights over the opening weekend, and Grosvenor's grid labels two of them Day 1C: a turbo on the Friday night and a hyper on the Saturday morning.
The value end
The Mini Main, event #3 at GBP 300 plus GBP 40, guarantees GBP 150,000 and has four flights from Sunday 22 to Tuesday 24 November, Day 1D included — unlike Blackpool, whose Mini Main grid skips that letter. The GBP 200 Deepstack (#7) hands out 50,000 chips and keeps registration open to the end of level nine, the latest cut-off on the schedule.
The high rollers
The no-limit High Roller (#5) is the most expensive tournament of the GUKPT's 2026 season at GBP 2,300 plus GBP 200, guaranteeing GBP 150,000 over two days from Wednesday 25 November, with a 100,000 starting stack. The Pot Limit Omaha High Roller (#2) is a one-day event on Saturday 21 November at GBP 900 plus GBP 100 for GBP 50,000 guaranteed — twice Blackpool's guarantee on the same buy-in.
Satellites and how the week opens and closes
Target cashout satellites run most evenings at GBP 200 plus GBP 20 into the Main Event, several guaranteeing ten seats, with GBP 250 plus GBP 20 turbos into the High Roller. Grosvenor's online feeders start at GBP 1 and pay live event credit rather than a seat; the credit can be used as full or part payment towards any GUKPT buy-in at the casino cash desk, and Grosvenor states it does not expire.
The week opens on Wednesday 18 November with the invitee-only Champion of Champions Live Stream Final, GBP 20,000 guaranteed, and the 2026 season ends online on 30 November and 1 December with a GBP 110 two-day closer.
