$250,000 Grand Prix Poker Tour Cardiff Takes Place This Weekend
At least $250,000 will be won in Wales this weekend because the partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn Grand Prix Poker Tour heads to the Cardiff City Stadium September 3 for the latest leg of the popular tour.
The Grand Prix Poker Tour is nearing the end of its inaugural season, which ends in October when it returns to Dusk Till Dawn for a £250,000 guaranteed event, acting as a warmup for the World Poker Tour festival taking place the following week.
Before that happens, there is a $500,000 guaranteed Online Grand Prix at partypoker – this concludes on September 5 – and the GPPT Cardiff leg that need champions crowning.
Taking place at the home of the English Championship football team Cardiff City, the Cardiff City Stadium, between September 3-4, GPPT Cardiff sees not only the $250,000 guaranteed Main Event run, but also two side events with combined guarantees of $30,000.
Online Day 1s have been running at partypoker for the past few weeks and there are six such online starting flights remaining. Buy into these online legs for $109, last for 16 levels of play and you have made it through to Day 2 of the GPPT Cardiff Main Event on September 4. And, you have done so knowing you have at least min-cashed in the tournament.
Those preferring live poker can try their luck and test their skills at Les Croupiers Casino, Rainbow Bristol Casino or at the Cardiff City Stadium. Each Day 1 is a freezeout tournament, but players are permitted to play in as many Day 1s as they wish. Although if they progress to Day 2 on more than one occasion, only their largest stack goes through with them.
