The final award differed from the preview

Before the final table, the organizer listed £57,950 as the first-place prize. Its winner announcement later put Wilkinson’s actual award at £55,035. The £1,250 Main Event carried an advertised £250,000 guarantee, according to the official festival schedule. The guarantee and the eventual individual payouts are different figures.

Blackpool’s final title

The Main Event followed earlier Blackpool victories by Adrià Díaz in the High Roller and Fraser Bellamy in the Mini Main. Our report on those two results covers their separate events and payouts. Grosvenor’s calendar now lists the GUKPT Grand Final at The Victoria in London for November 19–29.
