GUKPT London returns April 9-19, 2026 at The Victoria with a £250K Main Event guarantee. A full schedule, strong past results, and Brandon Sheils defending two titles make this a key stop on the tour.
The 2026 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour continues its strong run as it heads back to London for its third stop of the season. After a record-setting opening leg in January where every event exceeded its guarantee, the tour returns to Grosvenor Casinos' The Victoria on April 8, with action running from April 9 through April 19.
The festival begins at noon on April 9 with the first of five starting flights in the G500, a £500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament that has already proven its popularity.
During its previous run in London, James Mitchell navigated a massive 512-player field to claim £47,770 from a £219,311 prize pool, setting a high benchmark for this edition.
The London stop offers a diverse tournament line-up designed to attract a wide range of players. Events scheduled between April 9 and April 19 include a £250 Pot-Limit Omaha, a £340 Mini Main, a £1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, and a £2,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller.
The highlight of the series is the £1,250 buy-in GUKPT London Main Event, which features a £250,000 guaranteed prize pool and is expected to draw a competitive field.
Once the live festival concludes, the action transitions online. Players can join the £20,000 guaranteed Online Closer on Grosvenor Poker, which comes with a £110 buy-in and offers a final opportunity to capitalize on the series momentum.

One of the biggest storylines heading into this stop is Brandon Sheils, who delivered a standout performance during the previous London festival. He secured victory in the £2,500 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller, earning £49,560, before going on to claim the £1,250 Main Event title.
After late registering, Sheils built a strong stack and converted it into a tournament win worth £88,760, making him the player to watch as he returns with two titles to defend.
With proven turnout, strong guarantees, and a well-balanced schedule, the GUKPT London stop is shaping up to be another major highlight on the 2026 poker calendar.
