Birmingham-based Romanian Florian Duta is the new GUKPT Goliath champion after he topped a record field of 7,584 players to turn his £125 investment into a massive £101,450.

The 2018 GUKPT Goliath broke its own record for the largest poker tournament outside of Las Vegas with a 7,584-strong field. Grosvenor Casinos guaranteed the eventual champion would win at least £100,000 and that’s exactly what happened as Duta walked away with £101,450.

Some 747 players received prize money for their efforts. Min-cash was worth £150 with each of the nine players at the final table securing £10,000.

Joseph Stoyles busted in ninth-place and netted £10,000 with Gordon Paterson following Stoyles out of the door in eighth-place to win £11,600. Seventh-place and £14050 went to Ioana Belet before Craig Marnier exited in sixth-place for a £17,950 payout.

Banking £25,650 for fifth-place was Ricky Read and now the money was getting serious. Bogdan Bolboceanu saw his £125 turn into £37,150 when he fell in fourth-place and Mariusz Czech crashed out in third-place for a £52,500 payday.

This left Warwick Brindley and Duta to battle it out heads-up in what was essentially a £28,350 heads-up sit & go. No deal was struck, despite the huge pay jump, and it worked in Duta’s favour as he swept Brindley aside to win his second six-figure score in the space of a month.

Stellar Year for Duta

This latest victory was Duta’s second in a month after the Romanian won the $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em Championship at the 2018 Wynn Summer Classic in Las Vegas for a career-best $429,161. Duta managed six cashes at the 2018 World Series of Poker, including a 12th place finish in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed event.

Duta now has $1,248,636 in live poker tournament winnings, enough to place him sixth in Romania’s all-time money listings. He is now less than $200,000 behind Dan Murariu in those charts and if Duta’s form continues, a top five berth beckons.

Next on the GUKPT

Next up on the 2018 GUKPT is a trip up North to Leeds where a £560 buy-in Main Event with a £100,000 guarantee is the highlight of the festival. GUKPT Leeds runs from Sep. 9-16 at the Grosvenor Casino Westgate. Will Duta be there? You had better hope not!

Goliath18 will go down as one of the biggest, most enjoyable, amazing pokerfestivals ever held in the UK.

The side events were massive, the casino and poker rooms were buzzing throughout, and of course the Goliath Main Event, the star of the show, had more runners on each of the seven days compared to last year as it broke its own record as the biggest ever live poker tournament outside of Las Vegas.

In total there were 11,377 entries over the eight day Festival, with 7,584 the record setting final number in the Goliath itself; what a week of poker at the Ricoh Arena.

You’ve got to hand it to Ian Bryan, whose hard work behind the scenes is so ably carried out on the floor by Janis, Dena, Raj and their team, just imagine planning to get 11,000 people sat to play poker over 16 events.

As the dust settles on an amazing week in Coventry, I caught up with Ian having a well deserved beer, and already his mind was turning to how next year’s Goliath will look, how the increase in numbers year on year can carry on, how we’ll get 8, 9 or maybe even 10,000 runners and a £1million prizepool next year.

I’ve been with Grosvenor since before the first Goliath in 2011, but this year the build up was different, with so many people talking about the Goliath, when it started, how to win a seat, tactics for how to play it and more.

There were 750 seats guaranteed on GrosvenorPoker.com, ideal to get in cheaply and spin up a small investment, pennies in fact, into life changing money.

For the pros though, we had non playing matters to deal with that take precedence over actually playing, at least on occassion.

A couple of months ago we were asked if we’d be the trainers for a 2018 version of the David v Goliath promotion Grosvenor had run a couple of years back.

The idea was we needed six grassroots, inexperienced players with ‘Dav’ somewhere in their name, be it forename like David or Davina, or surname like Davies or Davison.

The Training Camp

Either way, we weren’t privy to any more information and we had to get on for planning our work with our six winners, Moyra, Kelly, Nicky, Dave, Dave and Dave.

Two days before the first of Goliath’s seven day ones, I headed to Coventry with Katie Swift and Joe Beevers and we set about planning four sessions of training over two days of Bootcamp, plus a couple of sit n go’s to let our students put their new found knowledge into practice.

Our Daves had mixed experience, but with Kelly playing her first ever game of poker and needing to start with just learning hand rankings and what beat what, we started at the very beginning, something the others probably found useful too.

After a morning spent on basics – hand rankings, starting hands, blinds, position, bet sizing – and an afternoon looking at c-betting, extracting value, realising equity and other more, our Daves were ready for the first SNG.

Fixing the Leaks

Blackpool grandmother Moyra had been cured of her limpness, entering pots with raises instead.

Kelly quickly learnt not to check her hole cards before the action was on her, to three-bet in position when the time was right, and to play tight and patiently to start with.

David Dale learned the hard way not to cold call three-bets from the blinds in a tough hand where Joe flopped trips and Katie held an overpair, while David Cook also found himself making life difficult by playing big hands slowly and finding ugly runouts.

David Mak and Nicky Davison both played pretty solid SNG strategy but got coolered early, and we all headed for dinner happy that plenty had been learnt on day 1 of Bootcamp and we’d laid some solid foundations for day 2.

With the basics covered, we looked at situations that are good or bad to run a bluff, spotting and concealing tells, as well as looking back to when we first started to play, and also previous Goliaths, and some of the rookie mistakes that we wanted our Daves to avoid.

An afternoon of analysing 10 big hands from previous Goliaths and GUKPTs on video and spotting the mistakes and we were ready for the finale, a sit and go featuring the three pros and six Daves where the winner would receive a Summer Sizzler seat.

After a top quality tussle, where our Daves showed just how much they’d been
