Qualify for GUKPT Stockton Main Event through PokerNews Freeroll
The third leg of the 2013 edition of the prestigious UK live poker tournament, the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT), will be held in north UK. Poker players have a very good opportunity to win a free entry worth $550 to the GUKPT Stockton Main Event.
The Stockton leg of the GUKPT will begin on May 5, Sunday and will continue till May 12, Sunday. The event will present as many as 14 tournaments, which will be run at Stockton’s Grosvenor G Casino. The icing on the cake will be the GUKPT Stockton Main Event, a tournament with a buy-in of $550, and players can actually win a free seat to it by taking part in a freeroll run by UK and Ireland PokerNews on April 28, Sunday.
Poker players who wish to take part in this freeroll and win the free seat to the GUKPT Stockton Main Event only have to download Grosvenor Poker through a PokerNews link. This will make them eligible to take part in the freeroll, which will give away an entry worth $550 to the main event. If players do not want to take part in the main event, they can request a ticket worth $550 to any other GUKPT main event.
While the champion of the GUKPT Freeroll will win the free entry worth $550, the runner-up and all the players who finish in the third to seventh places will receive a ticket worth $55 to any GUKPT online satellites, which will give them a chance to qualify for the event.
Besides, new players who register at Grosvenor Poker and fund their accounts for the first time will get a cash match bonus of 100% up to $500.
During the last GUKPT season, the Stockton main event attracted a field of 73 players, generating a prize pool of $36,500. The champion of the event Allan Peers won the first place prize of $11,000. This season, the GUKPT Stockton Main Event prize pool is expected to become as big as $50,000, which means that the champion will win a larger prize.
The Stockton leg of GUKPT 2013 will include many side events such as re-buy satellites, NL Hold’em Re-try Tournaments, and super satellites. For instance, the No Limit Hold’em Re-entry, which has a buy-in of $200+$20, will be played on May 11, Saturday.
The schedule is quite impressive, including plenty of opportunities for players to qualify for the Main Event. If players do not qualify for the Main Event through the PokerNews freeroll, they can always visit the Grosvenor G Casino and play any one of the six satellites that will be held between May 5 and May 12. If players decide to play in any of the $30 satellites that will be played at 16:00 from Monday to Tuesday, they will not have to pay the registration free. In other words, these satellite tournaments are rake free.
To get started, players only have to download Grosvenor Poker, fund their account, claim their new player bonus, and take part in GUKPT freerolls.
