2020 Genting Poker Series

The ninth edition of the Genting Poker Series gets underway in Newcastle from 6-9 February, with 15 further stops confirmed for  2020.

Twelve of the 16 scheduled GPS Main Events have a £225 entry fee but will feature a £35,000 guaranteed prize pool.

While the £500 buy-in £100,000 guaranteed events have also proved popular, fans of the tour will be disappointed to learn there are only four such events this year.

Luton hosts the first of this quartet, with Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Resorts World Birmingham also scheduled to host a £100,000 guaranteed event.

All players in Genting Poker Series main events go into a prize draw where one lucky punter will win a dream holiday worth £10,000.

There is also a new third-tier competition making its debut at Stoke in February, with further events running at Blackpool, Reading, Sheffield, Westcliff and Newcastle.

The Super 80 is an £80 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament with £15,000 guaranteed. Four day ones run from Wednesday through Saturday with the champion crowned on Sunday. Players start with 25,000 chips and play to a 30-minute blind structure.
