The GUKPT is one of the biggest things in poker at the moment and Portsmouth poker players are getting all of the benefit at the moment. This is because Leg 4 of the 2013 tournament is currently in poker and the excitement and tempo is building as the week progresses. The action started on Sunday and as there was a Bank Holiday Monday in the UK this week, there was an additional chance for players to get involved properly. The majority of the country may be back at work now but this doesn’t mean that the poker excitement or drama is fading out just yet.
There is a Re-Buy Turbo Satellite game starting at 4pm on Tuesday and this has a £30 buy-in. If you are working on Tuesday and can’t get across until a little bit later on, you will hopefully find the 7.30 pm start time for the NLH Re-entry game to be of benefit. There is a £70 fee for this poker game and unlike the Re-Buy Turbo Satellite game; there is a registration fee involved which is £8.
There is even more poker fun lined up for Wednesday with a NLH 6 Max game taking place at 7.30pm while the NLH Re-entry Super Satellite starts at 8.30pm on Wednesday night.
The Main Event is what people are looking for
However, there is no doubt that things won’t start to properly warm up at the event until Thursday the 30th of May. This is because it is Day 1A of the Main Event and we all that know that poker players love to focus on the Main Event. Having the chance to play for big money and take on the better players is always something that will be the focus. Players getting involved with the satellite events now will be hoping that they manage to secure their progress to the big stages but if not, there is the chance to buy in directly. This is the more expensive option but if you are unable to play in the build-up events or you have no luck in these events, it may be that this is the option that is right for you. Thursday also sees an Omaha game take place so if this is more your thing, you will be able to take advantage of what the tournament provides.
There is no doubt that these GUKPT events have been a big success and it looks as though the Portsmouth leg is shaping up rather nicely. There is still a bit of time until the main poker action starts but if you are looking to play your way into the tournament or you just want to capture the drama and excitement, make sure you make your way to Portsmouth.
