Online GUKPT Qualification for the Blackpool GUKPT
You can qualify online exclusively at Blue Square Poker for every leg of the GUKPT. There are 4 weeks of qualifying for each leg of the tour. The following 5 events will run every week, all starting at 9.15pm:
Monday $25 + $2.50 Rebuy ($25) GUKPT Side Event £330
Tuesday $0 + $2.50 Rebuy ($25) GUKPT Main Event $2750
Wednesday $100 + $9 Rebuy ($100) GUKPT Main Event $2750
Friday $100 + $9 Rebuy ($100) GUKPT Main Event $2750
Sunday $250 + $20 Freezeout GUKPT Main Event $2750
There are three standard super satellites a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. One package will be awarded for every $2750 in the prize pool, which consists of a £1060 buy in to a GUKPT Main Event and the remainder in expenses. The Wednesday and Friday super satellites are $100 rebuy tournaments. The Sunday super satellites are $250 freezeout tournaments. You can buy in directly to these super satellite qualifiers, or win a seat in them through one of the daily satellites or freerolls (see flow chart above).
One Bargain Bumper Satellite will run every week on Tuesday evenings. This events will have a zero buy-in with only an entry fee of $2.50 being charged to enter. However it will allow rebuys for $25 as well as a double chip add on for a further $25 cost. With the standard super satellites having buy-ins of no less than $100 this is likely to be the cheapest route to GUKPT glory.
One Side Event Satellite will run every week on Monday evenings. This event will award packages worth £330 (or the USD equivalent in the poker client) and can be used to buy in to any £330 entry GUKPT side event. Please Note: These packages do not include expenses.
