The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) is currently in London for the first leg of its 2026 tour. Several events have crowned their champions, including the £2,500 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller. Seventy-two players entered the mix, and Brandon Sheils emerged victorious, taking home £49,560.
Sheils, a high-volume and popular grinder, entered 2026 full of confidence, having enjoyed his best year in terms of prize money. According to The Hendon Mob Database, the man from Birmingham amassed $696,389 last year, an impressive sum, helped by his fifth-place finish in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed event at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
