Grosvenor NPL Heats Up: £40,000 Sponsorship Up for Grabs in High-Stakes Events
The Grosvenor Poker National Poker League (NPL) is heating up as the year draws to a close. The top hat performer will receive a £40,000 sponsorship package for 2026, and several high-stakes events are set to take place in the coming months.
Thomas Clack is currently leading the NPL with an impressive 402.01 points, maintaining a 57.71-point lead over Keith Littlewood in second place with 344.30 points. Ravi Sheth, in third place with 342.19 points, still has a chance to catch up to the top spot. The top ten players have consistently shown strong performances throughout the year.
The GUKPT Grand Final is scheduled from November 19 to 30 at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino. Philip Tate, with 70 in-the-money finishes since February 2022, is also a contender for the top spot. Meanwhile, the 888poker UKPL Coventry event will run from November 10 to 16, featuring a £100,000 guaranteed Main Event. The GUKPT Blackpool event is currently ongoing and will conclude on November 9. Players participating in these events could significantly impact their NPL standing, with Ivan Ivanov having a chance to improve their points at the 888poker UKPL Coventry event in November 2025.
With a £40,000 sponsorship package on the line, the competition remains fierce among the top NPL players. Upcoming events, including the GUKPT Grand Final and the 888poker UKPL Coventry, will provide opportunities for players to secure their position or challenge for the lead. The Grosvenor 25/50 tournaments are also set to conclude the year, adding more excitement to the NPL race.
