Each two-day tournament will take place at some of the best casinos in the country. And even better, we are joining up with the UK’s original poker tour, the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour to give you a taste of a £1k GUKPT main event for a fraction of the cost. [h=3]What’s New?[/h]Each dealer-dealt PPUKT main event will have a 10k starting stack, a slow structure and run over two days, with in the money players returning on day 2. And the winner of each leg will get a seat in a GUKPT main event for free! Every tour stop will be a mini festival of poker, with cash games and side events.
