From a field of 1,023 entries, just 36 players remain in the hunt for the GUKPT Main Event title at the 2025 GOLIATH festival. The action resumes at 1:00 p.m. BST on Sunday, with players set to battle it out until a final table is reached.

At the top of the Day 3 chip counts is Iman Sarkeshik, who leads the field with 1,507,000 chips. He’s closely followed by Jay O’Leary (1,426,000) and John Bousfield (1,243,000), with several other big stacks well positioned for a deep run, including Ravi Sheth (1,100,000) and former GUKPT champ Richard Trigg (860,000).

The tournament will crown its champion on Monday, July 28, but for those who can’t make it to Coventry, the action will be live streamed starting at 1:20 p.m. today on the Grosvenor Poker channels.

This year’s Main Event generated a £1,070,070 prize pool, with the top 121 players making the money. A min-cash was worth £2,670, and all remaining players have now locked up £3,630.

Reaching the final table guarantees £14,320, but all eyes are on the £192,700 top prize that awaits the winner.
