“Big tournaments like this are a good chance for us to see who’s out there, who could really benefit either from the kind of full on mentorship we give our sponsored players or from the free training system we’ve just put online,” said Jeff Burke, Badbeat.com’s Head of International Mentoring.
Burke is joined in Coventry this week by several players sponsored by Badbeat.com as well as Phil Wise, Poker Analyst; Sam Brown, Cash Mentor; Darren Hedley, Tournament Mentor and three members of the Poker Player Support team.
The GUKPT Goliath, held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry 24th – 28th August, is a unique opportunity to attempt the ultimate live poker challenge -- taking on the largest ever tournament field in Europe for the richest prize pool ever seen at this buy-in level. Starting Wednesday at the home of Coventry City Football Club, the Goliath has a £100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool and aims to break the European record tournament field with over 1600 runners.
25% of entrants’ registration fees will go to Marie Curie Cancer Care, a charity partner of both the Coventry City Football Club and Grosvenor Casinos.
“Our players go into a live tournament like this after our hands analysis tool has given them feedback on thousands of hands they’ve played online,” said Badbeat.com Poker Analyst Phil Wise. “It’s spotted their weaknesses and shown them how to fix them. That gives players a serious edge walking into a major tournament like this one.”
