Head to any Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) festival and you are bound to see Keith Littlewood grinding away at the tables. A popular figure on the UK poker circuit, Littlewood has racked up more than $530,000 in live tournament cashes, but a GUKPT Main Event title had always eluded him.
In January 2025, Littlewood came agonizingly close to becoming a GUKPT champion, finishing second in the £1,250 GUKPT Coventry Main Event for $53,750. He also reached the final table of the recent £1,250 GUKPT Luton Main Event, where he bowed out in ninth
Littlewood's wait to become a GUKPT Main Event winner ended in Leeds, as he navigated past 246 opponents and claimed £40,440 of the £209,930 prize pool. Impressively, Littlewood won the £330 Mystery Bounty event last week, earning £11,719, which included £7,000 in bounties plus a GUKPT Leeds Main Event seat.
2025 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Leeds Main Event Final Table Results
| Rank | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keith Littlewood | £40,440 |
| 2 | George Pop | £30,300 |
| 3 | Tuan Nguyen | £22,860 |
| 4 | Mihail Zglavoci | £17,340 |
| 5 | Jack Allen | £13,190 |
| 6 | Jacek Skiscim | £10,090 |
| 7 | Dale Hancock | £7,860 |
| 8 | Mark Whitney | £6,230 |
| 9 | Andreas Olympios | £5,080 |
The top 29 finishers shared the £209,930 prize pool. John Bousfield, Keith Johnson, and the 2022 GUKPT Leeds champion Christopher Johnson were among the early in-the-money casualties.
Yucel Eminoglu and Calogero Morreale also cashed before Charlie Reed's untimely demise in 10th place burst the final table bubble.
Andreas Olympios, the 2016 WPT500 Aria champion, crashed out in ninth, his king-jack failing to best Tuan Nguyen's superior ace-queen. Mark Whitney then scooped a career-best £6,230 when his last 16 big blinds went into the middle with ace-queen against Mihail Vglavoci's pocket jacks and he failed to improve.
The last four-figure prize, namely £7,860, found its way to Dale Hancock. Again, it was Nguyen who claimed a final table scalp, calling with ace-king after Hancock three-bet all-in with king-queen of spades for his last 14 big blinds.

Sixth place and £10,090 went to Polish national Jacek Skiscim. The Pole's exit was standard. Down to 10 big blinds, Skiscim shoved with king-jack, George Pop called with the dominating ace-king, and that was all she wrote.
The dangerous Jack Allen was the next to fall. Allen, making his GUKPT Main Event debut, was down to seven big blinds when he jammed with king-queen. Pop called with ace-deuce and improved to an unnecessary full house to take the pot and send Allen to the cashier's desk to collect £13,190.
The final four became three when Zglavoci moved all-in with ace-five for 10 big blinds, and Littlewood looked him up with jack-eight. It was Littlewood's day, evident by a jack on the flop and another on the turn. Goodnight, Zglavoci, who banked a career-high £17,340.

Heads-up was set once Nguyen fell by the wayside in third. Nguyen called off his stack on the river with ace-high in an apparent bluff-catcher scenario. Unfortunately for Nguyen, his read was way off because Pop was sitting with a boat. The £22,860 that Nguyen collected was the largest haul of his career so far.
Littlewood and Pop locked horns heads-up in a battle for the title and the lion's share of the prize pool. The final hand was a coin flip: Littlewood holding pocket eights, and Pop ace-ten. The ace-ten failed to melt Littlewood's snowmen, meaning Pop had to make do with a career-best £30,300, leaving Littlewood to chalk off his maiden GUKPT Main Event victory, a win that came with £40,440 reasons to be delighted.

GUKPT Returns to the Renovated Vic in July
The 2025 GUKPT will go on a brief hiatus before returning in July at The Poker Room, formerly The Vic.

- Avoiding giving your opponents an advantage when discarding is another crucial factor to take into account. It could be wise to keep similar cards that could finish their melds if you observe that an opponent has been selecting particular cards from the discard pile. On the other hand, you might be able to throw away a card without worrying if you think it won't harm anyone else, like a low-value card that doesn't fit into any possible sequences. It takes practice & knowledge of both your opponent's and your own hand's tendencies to develop efficient discard strategies. 25-06-01
- Players must become acutely aware of both the cards they are holding and the ones they have thrown away in order to master this technique. A successful sequence can be formed in a variety of ways & consists of three or more consecutive cards of the same suit. A valid sequence has already been created, for example, if you hold a 5, 6, and 7 of hearts. The cards that players draw and the moves that their opponents make, however, require them to be ready to modify their plans. Putting an emphasis on creating pure sequences early in the game is a good way to become proficient at card sequencing. A sequence is considered pure if it contains no jokers, which is important when declaring rummy. 25-06-01
- Getting the Hang of Indian Rummy: A Complete Guide Indian Rummy is a well-liked card game that blends strategy, skill, & luck. The game can hold two to six players and is usually played with two decks of cards, including jokers. The main goal is to use the cards that are dealt to each player to create legitimate sets & sequences. 25-06-01

- Jokers are wild cards in Indian Rummy that can be used in a variety of ways to finish sets or sequences. Their adaptability makes them effective instruments for players who want to rapidly improve their hands. But effective joker use necessitates planning and strategic thinking. Jokers are frequently used to finish unfinished sets or sequences that would be challenging to meld with the cards you currently hold. For example, if you have a joker and two 4s of different suits, you can use the joker to replace any other 4 that you need to finish your set. Similarly, a joker can be used to fill in the gaps in a sequence, such as 8-9-10 of hearts, if you don't have the 7 or 11 to finish it. 25-06-01

- This degree of observation can greatly improve your overall gameplay, but it takes time and experience. A key component of Indian Rummy that has a significant impact on the game's outcome is discarding cards. Choosing which card to discard is a serious decision that needs to be carefully thought out in light of your hand and the possible melds of your opponents. When you feel that high-point cards are no longer useful for creating sets or sequences, you can discard them as an efficient tactic. For instance, it might be better to discard a 10 of spades if you have none in your hand than to take the chance of keeping it until the end of the game. 25-06-01

- Players can reduce the chance that they will have high-point cards in their hand if an opponent declares before them by concentrating on making pure sequences first. Also, players can predict which sequences are still possible & which ones might be out of reach by keeping track of which cards have been discarded. As important as controlling your own hand in Indian Rummy is keeping an eye on your opponents' moves. The activities of every player reveal important details about their tactics and possible melds. An opponent may be trying to finish a particular set or sequence if, for example, they routinely remove cards from the discard pile. 25-06-01
