Who Will be the Next big thing in British Poker?

The Hunt for the New British Poker Champion continues when the Gala Casinos British Poker Tour comes to Teesside with week.

After a well-attended, high spirited festival in 2007, it’s set to be every bit as enjoyable and over-subscribed as the other legs of the tour. Aptly dubbed “The People’s Poker Tour”, players of all ability are welcome to enjoy the exciting atmosphere of the event – you don’t need to be a professional to play or win.

Gala Casino Teesside general manager, Stephen Andrew, says: “We’re really looking forward to another great festival – last year Stockton-on-Tees put on a great tournament and this year is set to be even better!”

This is the second year of the GCBPT, which was created in response to the ever increasing popularity of online poker across the UK. As well as the tour’s massive cash prize pool in excess of £1 million, poker professionals, amateur players and poker novices alike will compete for the ultimate accolade of GCBPT Champion 2008.

A series of No Limit Texas Hold’em poker tournaments will culminate in the three-day Main Event where poker players will battle it out for the title of Stockton-on-Tees GCBPT Champion 2008, along with an estimated first prize of £30,000 in cash and a seat at the GCBPT Grand Final, to be held in Bristol in December. There is £150,000 in cash prizes up for grabs across the whole event.

“This really is the people’s poker tour and we‘ll be running games for less experienced players as well as the pros. We can also offer one-to-one poker tuition for anyone wanting to brush up on their knowledge of the game. Hitting the casino during the tour is a sure ‘bet’ for thrills and action!”

Buy-in is set at $1000+40 with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000

Tournament structure: Shorthanded – 6 players per table.

The Grand Tournament is split into two (Day 1) heats and remaining players return for final day to play for the big cash prizes. Both Day 1 heats and the Final day all begin at 8PM CET and will play for 5 hours or until 80% of players have been eliminated

Day1a) is on Friday, Day1b) on Saturday and remaining players return for the Final on Sunday.

Chip counts and Level Structure: Players start with 10,000 chips. Level up period is 30 minutes. Initial blinds are set at 25/25 and follow the structure below with no running antes.

GT Qualifiers:
In addition to regular qualifiers, GalaPoker will also run special Online Grand Tournament (GT) qualifiers 8 times a day so it’s never been easier to qualify for this huge tournament at a fraction of the cost.
Buy-ins range from $1+0.2 to $100+8 and all GT satellites pay as many $1000+40 tickets as the total pot will allow plus any remaining cash to the winners.

Daily GT Qualifier Schedule:
These tournaments run every day online and all guarantee at least one ticket to the Grand Tournament.
