The 2020 schedule is almost a perfect match for 2019’s with the only difference being the Luton and London legs have switched around. Last year, the GUKPT travelled to Luton on the fourth leg and then onto London for Leg 5. In 2020, London is the fourth leg with Luton taking place at a slightly later date.
You also need to pencil in July 29th through August 9th if you want to get involved in the massive Goliath event. No details, apart from the dates, have been announced, but we would expect at least a £500,000 guarantee for a small buy-in based on previous events.

GUKPT Season 13 Main Event Results
The 13th GUKPT season was highly successful with all eight Main Events, and the Grand Final, surpassing their guarantees. There’s definitely still a demand for mid-stakes live poker tournaments with solid structures in the United Kingdom and the players came out to support the tour.
An anonymous player took down the opening event in London and walked away with £100,000. How they’ll cash the cheque with “Anon” written on the front is anyone’s guess.
Other 2019 GUKPT champions included Bernar Maregedze who won in Manchester, Nathan Slater, Chris Louch, Cheuk Lee, and Brett Angell who was the Leeds champion. Vikrum Mehta and Matt Eardley were victorious in Luton and Blackpool respectively.
Ben Winsor enjoyed the most impressive result on the 13th edition of the GUKPT. Winsor won the £2,650 Grand Final Main Event to pad his bankroll with £188,610 this becoming the tour’s first-ever double winner of the Grand Final. No doubt he’ll be going for the hat-trick in 2020.

How the poker calculator works
The Grosvenor Casinos Poker Calculator works by using what’s known as a “Monte Carlo” algorithm. This algorithm estimates the percentage of making a hand in Texas Hold’em by simulating what would or could happen had the hand been played out multiple times. The calculator runs all the possible outcomes of the hand from the point at which the player is on the board until it hits a limit of 12,500 simulations.
Why 12,500?
To ensure a perfectly accurate percentage each time, one would need to run hundreds of thousands of simulations, which would cause the calculator to run much slower – especially where there are no board cards. Instead, we have chosen to impose a limit of 12,500 possible outcomes, which means the calculator is within 1.5% accuracy of the displayed percentages. For calculations that have less than 12,500 outcomes (when the hand progresses further) the calculation is more accurate. To ensure the tool calculates hand percentages as quickly as possible, the calculations run on a separate server – as opposed to the individual’s computer.
