2018 GUKPT Goliath

The 2018 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Goliath guarantees its champion will win at least £100,000 and a custom trophy when the tournament concludes on Aug. 5, a healthy return on a £125 investment. While the £125 buy-in is at the more affordable end of the spectrum, Grosvenor Poker is giving its players the chance to win a seat in the Goliath from as little as £5.

Win Your Seat into the 2018 Goliath

Almost 200 Goliath seats are guaranteed to be won between July 19-26 in the special Goliath Super Satellites held online at Grosvenor Poker. Each of these satellites is either a £5 rebuy or a £30 freezeout and they have between 25 and 50 seats guaranteed in each of them.

It is even possible to win your way into the £5 buy-in satellites via £0.25 Grosvenor Live: Step 1 satellites. Imagine turning £0.25 into £100,000, you can with Grosvenor Poker!

These are the last set of online satellites Grosvenor Poker is running before the massive 2018 Goliath shuffles up and deals in Coventry. Even if you have already won a seat, or simply plan to buy in for £125, it is worth your time trying to get your hands on even more seats. This year’s Goliath Main Event has unlimited re-entries, so winning some discounted seats online will allow you to fire multiple bullets and have more of a chance of securing that £100,000 first-place prize.

Each of the online satellites are excellent value, but your best chance to win a cheap Goliath seat could be in the £30 freezeout held at 7:00 p.m. on July 22 as this has 50 seats guaranteed. The mathematicians among you will have worked out that this particular satellite needs almost 210 runners to hit its guarantee, meaning an overlay is likely - and that means even more value for you.

Join the Grosvenor Poker Sponsored Pros

One of the great things about the Goliath tournament is it attracts an eclectic mix of players. The lower buy-in attracts literally thousands of recreational poker players, while the potentially huge prizes draw in some professionals.

At least three of Grosvenor Poker’s sponsored pros will be heading to Coventry to compete in the 2018 Goliath. Jeff Kimber, Will Kassouf, and Joe Beevers will be in attendance and vying for the £100,000 top prize. Where else could you rub shoulders with professional players held in such high esteem as this trio for only £125, or as little as £0.25 if you win your seat online at Grosvenor Poker?
