Nine years ago, Paul Vas Nunes almost became the 2014 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) Grand Final champion.

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Ludovic Geilich warmed up for the 888poker LIVE Coventry Main Event in style by taking down the 2,000 High Roller for 40,870. Geilich came out on top of a 70-strong field, which was packed with the most recognizable names in British poker, and helped himself to the lion’s share of the 132,160 prize pool.

Gelich’s Coventry victory marks the second time in 2023 that the popular Scotsman has come out on top in a major live event. He won the 1,000 GUKPT Edinburgh Main Event in May for 79,590, and it would take a brace person to bet against Geilich completing a hat trick when he enters one of the final two flights of the 888poker LIVE Coventry Main Event.
