England: Two major poker tournaments this Thursday
This week, poker enthusiasts in England will be quite satisfied because two major events including the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) and the United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) take place simultaneously. If the £ 1,590 Main Event of the GUKPT started on Thursday on the poker room of the Grosvenor Victoria casino in London, the main event of £ 550 with a guaranteed prizepool of £ 200,000 of the third stage of the UKIPT started on Friday at G Casino in Manchester. The final is scheduled to be held on March 14 and side event tournaments are also scheduled to take place in conjunction with this great event. Last year, the UKIPT Manchester gathered 518 players and Joeri Zandvliet was crowned as champion.
At the Grosvenor Victoria, 200 participants are expected to play poker in a beautiful setting. The GUKPT main event will offer two qualifying days. The player who will succeed to Cuong Tran, the winner of the previous edition will be announced on March 20, 2011. Note that Cuong Tran won against 318 opponents, including Neil Channing that he ousted in the final duel. He pocketed £ 127,800 for the occasion. But fans of the circuit can also participate in numerous side events like the Short Handed Freezeout of £ 250 scheduled to take place on March 15, the Dealer's Choice Event of £ 200, on March 19 or the Bounty Freezeout of £ 300 which will close in beauty the event. A priori, these two great events will provide to poker players very attractive tournaments and players have only to take the right choice.
