At the end of this week, Grosvenor Poker will welcome the return of GCOOP. For anyone who hasn't heard of it before, it is a much loved online poker series that lasts a little over a week. The 'Grosvenor Championship Of Online Poker' consists of 19 poker tournaments finishing across 9 days, each one challenging players to a different poker format. Freezeouts, Rebuys, Heads-Up, Pot-Limit Omaha, Progressive Knock Out, 6-Max, Deep and Steep and High Rollers – GCOOP offers a great mix, something to suit everyone and many evenings offer the same format at 2 different price points, starting at just £5.
The casino in New Brighton is a relatively small casino. The casino's official name is Grosvenor G Casino New Brighton. It offers a small number of slot machines. The total number of live game tables is also small. The casino New Brighton offers the classic table games such as Blackjack and Roulette and in addition Poker Table Games.

As always, Grosvenor Poker are adding value in the form of a leaderboard that will reward the top performing players. Points will be won with each game played and result achieved. These points will convert to a position on the leaderboard. So, in addition to the actual instant prizepool to be won for each poker game, there is an additional £4,000 to play for.
The beauty of GCOOP is the sheer range of affordable events! The majority of events are below £30 total buy in, only 4 are above this amount. With the Main Event at a reasonable £110, it is an attractive series for both recreational players and pros alike. It is also perfect for those that are new to the world of poker. Perhaps being able to pick a format and lower buy in from the 7 events on the schedule that are under £11, to test the waters and play in some of their first real money tournaments. It's at these smaller stakes where players can practice playing, gain confidence, all whilst aiming to win part of the massive £140,000 guaranteed total series prizepool.
Poker is commonly considered a skill based mind game. It will keep your brain active and fresh, whilst testing your nerve, patience and focus. Learning the basics is simple, so there's nothing stopping complete beginners downloading the software today and being ready to participate in their first real poker game during GCOOP.
Online poker presents many opportunities and even more of us than ever before are venturing into games on the virtual felt, due to the nature of the current Covid lockdown restrictions in place across the UK. Personally, I'm loving firing up a poker session from the comfort of my own home. Sometimes at my desk or other times snuggled in bed in my PJs, as you can play from any mobile device, phone or computer, so it's really convenient and fun too. With the bonus of no additional expense for travel or accommodation, plus usually registration fees online are lower, meaning funds for poker can be stretched further – what's not to love?! Multi-tabling (meaning players can play in multiple poker competitions simultaneously), is also a key difference compared to live poker games.
With all this is mind, the GCOOP schedule has been carefully designed to host a top selection of appealing competitions for you to enjoy. To assist with the challenge, each day the tournaments have staggered start times – the earliest being 6pm, with late registration being available for almost all (Heads Up is the exception, where pre-registration is required). Remember there are satellites running daily, meaning you can win your way into the events for a fraction of the price.
I will look forward to seeing you at the tables and will keep you updated across all my social media channels throughout the series. In addition, I'll be doing an 'Instagram Takeover' on the official Grosvenor Poker Instagram account for the duration of the series. I'll keep you updated on the daily upcoming events schedule, results, as well as some hints and tips to help you stay focused, play optimally and have fun throughout the week. Wishing you all some swift success!😁

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.
David vs Goliath is a true underdog story and is out now on Amazon Prime.
