Grosvenor Tour a Big Success for UK Poker

The first year of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) is drawing to a close. So far there have been ten £1,000 ($2,000) events in ten different Grosvenor casinos throughout the UK. Every leg has been recorded for television and over £3 million ($6 million) in prize money has been won.
