We’ve obtained a sneak peek at the TV coverage for the GUKPT, and it’s got us very excited indeed. Set to air this summer under the production team behind Channel 4’s award winning cricket coverage, it’s fair to say that poker will be back on your screens with a bang. ‘This will be the most in-depth poker coverage ever seen in this country,’ said Chris Chaundler, series producer for the show.

In a smart move, the GUKPT Show will dedicate two one-hour shows to each leg, allowing viewers to see more of the nuances in the game as opposed to the 15 hands usually shown in the onehour format.
