Andy Moc The 2021 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) enjoyed something of a renaissance with every stop seeing incredible attendance figures. That trend continued in the GUKPT Grand Final Main Event with 607 entrants creating a £1,092,600 prize pool, the largest ever Grand Final in the tour’s long history.
Andy Moc was the man who came out on top of that star-studded field. His reward? A cool £265,350! However, it was Yucel Eminoglu , a player known affectionately as “Mad Turk,” who hit the headlines after laddering from fifth to second with a super-short stack. 2021 GUKPT Grand Final Main Event Final Table Results

The nine finalists took their seats on December 5 knowing they would leave London with at least £16,050 for their efforts but had a legitimate shot at scooping £265,350.
