Online Poker | Grosvenor Casinos
All Grosvenor casinos poker competitions are suspended from 9am Tuesday the 17th March 2020
Poker tournament players gain much more publicity than their cash game counterparts, but only if they allow their details to be shared. The winner of last weekend’s 2019 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) London Main Event shunned the limelight and chose to remain anonymous, slinking off into the cold London night with £100,000 on their person. These professional tournaments include the GUKPT, one of the UK’s leading poker events. Their Deepstack Poker Tournaments are popular among regular gamers and create a lot of action in their Poker Hall. If you’re a Grosvenor One member you will stand a chance to win a free seat at their Deepstack Tournaments. The Poker Room has hosted some of the biggest poker tours and events in Europe, including the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour, (GUKPT), the European Poker Tour, (EPT), The Unibet Open and the Worlds Heads-Up Poker Championship, (WHUP). GUKPT 2020 ♥ Grand Final £2500 Nov 21st – 6th Dec ♣ Leg 1 – £1500 Jan 23rd – Feb 2nd. The Grosvenor Victoria Poker Room, or ‘The Vic’ as it is affectionately known, houses, by some way, the biggest poker room in the city. Just a short walk from Edgeware Road tube station and part of the Grosvenor group, its open 24 hours a day, with cash games and tournaments running throughout and binds starting at just a mere quid.
Because the wellbeing of our customers and teams is our utmost priority, the risk resulting from the Coronavirus (COVID 19) outbreak means we are suspending all poker competitions in Grosvenor casinos until further notice. We are sorry for the disappointment that this may cause. Thank you for your loyalty, we appreciate your patience and support.

*reflects a four-way deal
A field of 467 entrants turned out in force for the £1,110 buy-in GUKPT London Main Event and 42 of those walked away with prize money to show for their efforts.
Established grinders such as two-time GUKPT champion Driton Haxhiaj, the popular Kevin Allen, Ben Winsor, partypoker pro Patrick Leonard, Mitch Johnson, former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Martin Jacobson, and Ludovic Geilich were just a handful of players who made it into the money.
Each of the nine players at the final table were guaranteed £7,400 and that is the sum awarded to Andreas Orthodoxou who ran out of steam in ninth-place. Orthodoxou was joined on the rail by Chris Kadji who committed his stack with top pair and a flush draw only to run into the pocket aces of Zack O’Sullivan.
Andrew Garland fell in seventh-place for £11,500, a fantastic achievement considering he had won his seat in the GUKPT London Main Event in an online satellite and had found himself down to a single small blind during Day 2.
Sixth-place went to Atanas Pavlov whose ace-jack lost a coinflip against the red tens of O’Sullivan. Pavlov paired his jack on the flop, O’Sullivan improved to a set on the turn and that was it for Pavlov.
The first of two anonymous players then busted. Known simply as “S.B”, the anon player moved all-in for nine big blinds with ace-deuce and was called by Alexios Zervos holding ace-jack. Neither player improved their hand, Zervos’ jack-kicker came into play and the tournament was reduced to only four players.
Fourth-place was originally meant to be worth £30,700 with the eventual champion banking £122,460. That was the case until the final four players decided to flatten the payout structure, reducing first-place to £100,000, second-place to £80,000 but boosting third and fourth-place to £60,000 and £45,800 respectively.

It turned out to be a good deal for O’Sullivan as he jammed all-in for 10 big blinds with king-three and was called by the second anonymous player who held ace-nine. An ace on the flop sealed the deal for the anon player and busted O’Sullivan in fourth-place.
Paul Siddle then busted in third-place after his top pair and inside straight draw failed to improve against the two pair of Zervos, which set up a heads-up battle against Mr Anonymous and Zervos.
Zervos got unlucky in two hands to leave himself with only 10 big blinds. This short stack went into the middle holding ace-four and Anon called with ace-ten of spades. The anon player improved to a flush by the turn to bust Zervos in second-place and bank the £100,000 top prize for himself.
