GUKPT Online Festival
RiffMan117 wins GUKPT Online Festival
The $500 main event of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour has been won by RiffMan117, otherwise known as Curtis Ledger. Having qualified for the tournament earlier the same day via a $25 feeder tournament, Curtis gradually built his chip stack throughout the early and middle stages of the tournament and going into the final he was one of the main contenders for the trophy. After over eight hours of play he finally emerged victorious, taking down the $18,495 first prize plus seats into the £3,000 GUKPT Grand Final and the £75,000 Champion of Champions tournament.
The summer blockbuster movie the Dark Knight sees Batman take on The Joker and appropriately Riffman117’s arch nemesis in the tournament turned out to be JoeTheJoker (Joe Grech). The two faced each other heads up at the end of the tournament but RiffMan117 stole the final scene as the credits rolled into both of their accounts. Joe pocketed just under $11,000 for second place.
The tournament itself followed the same blinds structure as a live GUKPT event. Players also started with 10,000 chips, as per the live counterpart events, but the blinds levels lasted half an hour instead of the usual one hour that is played on the main tour. The top nine players in all of the online festival events also receive ranking points towards the £30,000 GUKPT Leaderboard.
