Grosvenor Casino Luton Poker Tournaments
It is difficult to believe that 2017 is already three months old but you better believe it because this year is flying by like a speeding train. Like January and February before it, March is another bumper month of live poker tournament action in the United Kingdom and Ireland with at least 20 events to get your teeth into.
On Mar. 2, Day 1a of the 2017 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Manchester Main Event gets underway and it should attract some of the best players on the British circuit. Last year’s GUKPT Manchester Main Event saw Reyaaz Mulla and Tom Middleton chop heads-up and return home with £58,300 and £53,00 respectively.
At the end of the month, and going into April, the GUKPT heads north of the border to Edinburgh while Huddersfield, Luton, and Bournemouth host the popular Grosvenor 25/25 Series.
The first PokerStars Live London Series begins on Mar. 2. It is the first of five events scheduled at the Hippodrome Casino and should be a big hit with the locals and travelling players alike. You can qualify for PokerStars Live London Series tournaments online at PokerStars.
Running each weekend throughout the month of March are the DTD200 tournaments. Each of these events has a £100,000 guaranteed prize pool and you can win your way into them, plus play a Day 1 online, only at partypoker.

DAVID HAYE GOES ALL IN AFTER SIGNING UP AS A SPONSORED POKER PLAYER
- The former world boxing champion joins Grosvenor Casinos’ roster of sponsored poker players to compete in a series of poker tournaments for the next 12 months
- The deal will see The Hayemaker build on his success after finishing 40th out of more than 9,000 players at the Goliath Poker Tournament in Coventry last year
- To celebrate, Grosvenor Casinos is launching a series of unique ‘Hayemaker Bounty’ online poker tournaments to reward players for knocking The Hayemaker out
July 2020: Former world boxing champion, David Haye, has officially signed his first deal to become a sponsored poker player.
David, who won the respect of many in the poker community after his epic performance at Goliath 2019 which saw The Hayemaker finish 40th out of 9,300 players, will now join Grosvenor Casinos’ roster of professional poker players such as Joe Beevers, Jeff Kimber and Katie Swift.
The next stage in the former Unified World Cruiserweight and WBA World Heavyweight Boxing Champion’s poker journey will see him competing against amateur and professional poker players on the live and online circuit for the next 12 months.
David will compete in tournaments such as the iconic national online GUKPT and online 25/50 tournaments, in a bid to prepare himself for the next stage of his poker career and will also be launching a series of ‘Hayemaker Bounty’ tournaments in which players who enter can win a prize if they can knock The Hayemaker out. The first of three tournaments will kick off on 14 July at 8pm on the Grosvenor Poker website.
Ever the competitor and with unfinished business, a rematch between David and one of the world’s biggest live poker tournaments, Goliath, is also on the cards as he aims to deliver a knockout blow and win the online version of the tournament this summer.
Speaking about how it feels to sign up as a sponsored poker player, David Haye said: “Having competed against some of the world’s best poker players over the last 12 months, I feel ready to take the next step in my journey by becoming a sponsored poker player. To sit shoulder to shoulder with other players on Grosvenor Casinos’ roster is a great feeling, and I’m excited to continue to grow and test my ability on the circuit.”
Russell Tamplin, Head of Poker for Grosvenor Casinos, said: “There’s no doubting David has found a new passion for poker and now has the skills to back this up. Goliath is one of the most gruelling tournaments to compete in and David did himself proud last year.

“We’re looking forward to seeing that same determination and competitiveness that made him such a successful boxer being applied to his new role as a sponsored poker player. We’re all excited to see what he does next on the live and online circuit.”
David’s journey from complete novice to sponsored poker player has been captured in a new feature length fly on the wall documentary filmed over 12 months which charts the ups and downs of his journey to learn the skill and strategy of poker to compete in the world’s biggest live poker tournament outside of Las Vegas, Grosvenor Casinos’ Goliath 2019.
