Welcome to Day 1a of The GUKPT £1,000 Main Event from Grosvenor Reading South Casino
Welcome to Day 1a of the Grosvenor United Kingdom Poker Tour (GUKPT), brought to you live from Grosvenor Casino, Reading South.
Today will feature Day 1a of the £1,000 Main Event, starting at 12:00 p.m., with another two flights (1b and 1c) to be played Friday, July 22. The plan for the starting flights is to play ten 60-minute levels, however, it is worth noting Day 1c will be a turbo flight with 20-minute levels.
Players will start with 20,000 chips with blinds at 100/100. From Level 2, there will be a big blind ante in place. Players can expect 15-minute breaks after every two levels and a 60-minute break after Level 4.
British pro Tom Hall was the last winner on the GUKPT. He topped the 341-player field and took down the 2022 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Luton Main Event for £90,965, as well as the GUKPT title.
There will also be a live-streamed feature table presented by the GUKPT.

Hunt Hunting For Help and Finds It
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Three-ways to a turn with the board reading 
, Mark Wackrill had checked from the small blind, M. C. then checked his option in the big blind, before Gregory Hunt bet 1,800 into a bot of no more than 3,000 from early position. Wackrill then flat called and M. C. responded by making a raise to 7,000. Hunt called before Wackrill moved all in covering both players. M. C. folded and Hunt made the call for his last 7,000 as cards were on their backs.
Gregory Hunt: 
Mark Wackrill: 
Hunt was needing help against the turned nuts of Wackrill, and he sure got it as the 
completed the board, giving Hunt the nut flush. Wackrill didn't seem pleased with the outcome as Hunt explained he had to call.
