GUKPT Goliath Breaks Poker Tournament RecordGrosvenor Hosts 1,765 Player Event Making It Europe’s Largest Poker Tournament Ever |
|
The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Goliath event being held at the Rioch Arena, Coventry is the largest poker tournament ever to take place on European soil with 1,765 runners.
The previous record was held by the Boylepoker.com International Poker Open in 2009 with 1,440.
The new record differs as it had a unique structure which allowed people to buy in more than once on a day other than the one they were initially knocked out on.
The €100 + €20 event created a prize pool of £176,500 of which £32,653 will be awarded to the winner.
Additionally 25 percent of the registration fee, £8,825, has been collected to for charity Marie Curie Cancer care.
