GUKPT Luton returns Aug 30-Sep 8 for its 20th season.
£100K Mini Main, £150K Main Event & £50K High Roller headline.
Plenty of satellites and side events for diverse player entry.

GUKPT Luton returns to Grosvenor G Casino Luton from August 30 to September 8, featuring a £100,000 guaranteed Mini Main, £150,000 Main Event, £50,000 High Roller, GUKPT Cup, Last Chance and Must-Play Cashout satellites throughout the festival week.

The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) returns to Bedfordshire for the sixth stop of its landmark 20th season, with GUKPT Luton scheduled to run from August 30 to September 8 at the Grosvenor G Casino Luton.

The tour returns to the venue after its previous Luton stop in May, when GUKPT regular Yucel Eminoglu won the £1,250 Main Event. The "Mad Turk" defeated a 190-entry field to secure the title and £57,640 from the £236,250 prize pool.

The latest festival features another packed schedule, including six-figure guarantees in the £250 Mini Main and £560 Main Event.

GUKPT Luton begins on August 30 with the final flight of the £200 Summer Sizzler South before the focus shifts to the £100,000 guaranteed Mini Main.

The £250 Mini Main has four starting flights spread across three days. Day 1a begins at 6 p.m. on August 30.

Players have three regular starting flights and a turbo option before Day 2 begins on September 1. The tournament's champion will be crowned the following day.

The £100,000 guarantee proved popular during the May stop, with organisers hoping for another strong turnout when players return to Luton for a second GUKPT visit in 2026.

The headline tournament on the schedule is the £560 GUKPT Luton Main Event, which comes with a £150,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Day 1a is scheduled for September 3. Players unable to participate in the opening flight will have two further opportunities through Day 1b and a Day 1c turbo.

Survivors will return for Day 2 on September 5, with the tournament scheduled to conclude the following afternoon.
