£500,000 Guaranteed GUKPT Grand Final Main Event

The £2,000 Main Event is the festival's headline tournament, featuring a £500,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Players will have three starting flights available, including a turbo option, before progressing to Day 2 and the final day.

GUKPT Grand Final 2026 Satellites and Online Qualification

Players can secure entry through live Target Cashout Satellites and online feeder tournaments. Live Main Event satellites generally carry a £200 + £20 buy-in, with several sessions offering guaranteed seats.

Grosvenor Poker is also running online feeder satellites starting at £1, with qualification routes progressing through £5 and £30 tournaments. Higher-level qualifiers award Live Event Credit worth £200, £300, £500 or £1,250.

The credit can be used towards any GUKPT tournament, either covering the full buy-in or contributing towards the cost. Any outstanding balance must be paid at the casino cash desk.

Players using a larger credit for a cheaper tournament will receive the difference as tournament credit. According to Grosvenor, Live Event Credit does not expire, allowing players who cannot attend the Grand Final to retain it for another GUKPT event.

Online Closer Follows the Live Festival

The online Closer extends the festival beyond its live conclusion. Day 1 is scheduled for November 30 at 7 PM, followed by Day 2 on December 1 at 7 PM.

The tournament carries a £100 + £10 buy-in and a £15,000 guaranteed prize pool. With the Main Event, High Roller, Midi, Mini Main, Cup and satellite opportunities, the 2026 GUKPT Grand Final brings the tour's 20th season to a close at The Victoria Casino in London.
