Known as the largest poker event in all of Europe, the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Goliath tournament kicks off Saturday at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, England, and promises juicy cash games, a variety of side events and a £120 buy-in, £250,000 guaranteed Main Event which wraps up Sunday, August 7.

The Goliath tournament has been growing at a steady clip since it debuted in 2011. In 2014, the tournament boasted 3,394 entrants, then topped itself with 4,210 runners and a prize pool of £421,000 last year. Organizers expect that number to increase even further this year and are estimating more than 5,000 will make the trek.

With a buy-in of just £120, Goliath organizers have made the popular tournament accessible to players of all bankrolls. This time around, participants will play stacks of 25,000 chips, and will have plenty of chances to get back into the game in the unfortunate event that they get felted early. This year’s tournament allows players to enter up to three times a day during the event’s seven Day 1s. The large amount of rebuys last year increased the prize pool to £421,000, smashing the £250,000 guarantee.

The Goliath event is just one of the tournaments slated for the yearly poker festival. Grinders have their choice of entering unconventional events like “Joker is Wild” and “Win the Button,” or battling in traditional favorites like Omaha 4/5/6.

If 2015 is any indication, cash game traffic will be brisk at this year’s event. Goliath organizers counted up to 30 cash game tables running concurrently last year, and expect even more this year. Games will run 24/7 with table limits starting at £1/£1 going all the way up to £5/£10 for the “Round of Each” game, which will be live streamed to the poker fans across the globe. While organizers have already confirmed several high rollers for the game, they are urging anyone interested in playing to contact them on their Facebook page.

To grab a seat, players can head to any local Grosvenor Casino and preregister for the Main Event Day 1 of their choice. Organizers warn, however, that the final starting flight, Day 1G on August 5, will be especially busy, and if they don’t sign up early they will likely be in for a wait.

Goliath is part of the GUKPT, which was established in 2007 and consists of nine poker festivals peppered in locations throughout the United Kingdom. Grosvenors Casinos operates 55 casinos and poker rooms in the United Kingdom and offers online poker to its customers through a partnership with Microgaming.

Finland’s Miikka Toikka bested a huge field of competitors in last year’s Goliath to take first place, the Goliath trophy and a £70,800 payday.
