2026 GUKPT Luton Runs May 14-24

The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT), fresh from announcing an exciting partnership with GGPoker, heads to Luton this month for the fourth leg of the 2026 tour. GUKPT Luton runs from May 14-24 at the Grosvenor G Casino on Park Street West, Luton, and sees more than £700,000 worth of guaranteed prize pools on the schedule.

As it did in 2025, the GUKPT heads to Luton twice during 2026, its 20th season. The first of those two Luton-based legs kicks off with a £115 Target Cashout Satellite at 7:00 p.m. BST on May 13. At least 10 seats to the £500 buy-in G500 are guaranteed.

May 14 is the date of the first actual event of the GUKPT Luton festival. It’s a midday start for Day 1a of the £500 G500, a tournament that will award at least £100,000. This event crowns its champion on May 17.

May 17 is when the first of four flights in the £340 Mini Main shuffles up and deals. By the time there is only one player left standing on May 20, the GUKPT will have awarded at least £150,000.

Sandwiched between Day 2 and Day 3 of the Mini Main is a £1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller with a £50,000 guarantee. As the Mini Main is drawing to a close on May 20, a £2,500 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller commences, which is sure to attract the cream of the British poker community.

The biggest guarantee of the festival is reserved for the £1,250 GUKPT Luton Main Event: a cool £250,000. A trio of flights is available, including a turbo-structured Day 1c at 9:00 p.m. BST on May 22. The field will be reduced to a more manageable size over the course of Day 2 on May 23, with the final day’s play schedule for noon on May 24.

Once the festival wraps up in Luton, players are invited to head online to Grosvenor Poker for a £110 buy-in, £20,000 guaranteed Online Closer event. This starts at 7:00 p.m. BST on May 25, with its Day 2 starting at the same time on May 26.

May 2025 GUKPT Luton Results

As previously mentioned, the GUKPT called off in Luton twice during 2025, so it is only fair to compare apples to apples and run through the results from the May 2025 edition of GUKPT Luton.

Calorgero Morreale triumphed in the £1,250 GUKPT Luton Main Event, leaving a trail of 283 foes behind him. It marked the second time the Italian had captured a GUKPT Main Event title, having won the Manchester tournament in February 2023.

A player wishing to remain under the shroud of mystery won the £1,650 High Roller for £35,400, while Vikrum Mehta took down the £250 Mini Main for £20,285.

Popular pro Jack Hardcastle also added a title to his collection, coming out on top in the £550 GUKPT and walking away with £13,850.
