As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the Grosvenor G Casino in Blackpool hosts the penultimate stop of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) each November. Stops have come on gone on the GUKPT since its inception in 2007, but the Blackpool leg has remained constant, with the exception of the COVID-19 hit 2020.
November is fast approaching, and as sure as eggs are eggs, the GUKPT's penultimate stop of its 2024 tour takes place in the British seaside town of Blackpool. From October 30 through November 10, poker players from far and wide will descend on Blackpool, each sharing the common goal of becoming the GUKPT Blackpool Main Event champion.
Although the £1,250 GUKPT Blackpool Main Event is the tournament everyone has their eye on, PokerNews urges you to head to the casino on November 2 and play in the £60 Kav Cup. Now in its eighth iteration, the Kav Cup is a charity tournament in the name of the late Derek "Kav" Kavanagh, an immensely popular and inspirational man.
Kavanagh continued grinding poker tournaments despite fighting through gruelling chemotherapy sessions in his battle against lung cancer. Sadly, Kavanagh passed away in March 2017, a couple of months after reaching the final two tables of the GUKPT Blackpool Main Event.
The Kav Cup is a £40+£20 tournament, with the £20 going to charity. There's an option for a 2,000 bonus chip for £5, with the £5 also donated to charity. So far, the Kav Cup has raised over £63,000 for worthy causes and is intending to smash through £100,000 worth of donations eventually. It's one of the most fun live tournaments you will play, with most of the field gulping on pints of Guinness, Kav's favourite drink. Last year, 257 players bought in, and Bryn Cropper outlasted them all. Cropper collected £5,370 for his win.
