The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) heads to Luton this August for Leg 6 of the 2025 season — marking the 19th year of the iconic UK poker series. Running from August 13–26, this can’t-miss stop features a full slate of events, satellites, and a massive £250,000 guaranteed Main Event. The schedule offers something for everyone, from fast-paced turbos to prestigious multi-day tournaments — all set to unfold live under the legendary GUKPT banner.

Last year’s edition was highlighted by Seb Crane’s impressive victory in the Main Event. Crane topped a tough field to claim the £66,000 top prize, navigating one of the deeper structures on the UK circuit with poise. That win cemented Crane as a rising star on the UK scene and set a high bar for this year’s contenders hoping to etch their name into GUKPT history.

The 2025 Main Event kicks off on August 21 and runs through August 24, with three Day 1 flights (including a Friday night turbo). The £1,100+£150 buy-in gets players 20,000 chips on a 60-minute clock, and unlimited re-entries are allowed across the opening days.
For players looking to qualify on a budget, multiple satellites are available throughout the festival, including frequent £125+£15 “Target Cashout” satellites offering guaranteed Main Event seats. There are also popular events like the £100K Mini Main, the £100K High Roller, the GUKPT Cup, and side events for PLO, Seniors, and bounty lovers alike.
