The Grosvenor Championship of Online Poker continued last night in the form of two deepstack turbo events. Giant starting stacks and rapid blind levels created an interesting dynamic where players could find themselves going from 1000 big blinds to under 100 in less than an hour. The freezeout events provided an opportunity for players to add to their Road To Vegas Leaderboard point, and one of our sponsored pros to make an impressive debut to this GCOOP.
GCOOP: #5-Hi Deepstack Turbo, £5,000 GTD, £30 Buy-in
145 players took to the felt in the Hi Deepstack turbo. The freezeout nature of the event saw the players enjoy some extra value as £940 was added to the prizepool by grosvenorpoker.com. It was a phenomenal night for ‘slinkybrs’ who managed to take down the Hi event for a chunky payday of £1,475 as well as finishing 4th in the lo event simultaneously! Their Hi victory saw them triumph over grosvenorpoker.com sponsored pro Andy Hills who managed to secure the runner up spot in just his first event of the series!
Huge congrats to my mate @hewitt_silvie champion of #GCOOP event #5 🏆 on @GrosvenorPoker
Sylvia gets £1475 cash + 150 crucial points towards the ROAD TO VEGAS leader board.
I had to settle for 2nd place (£962)—not too shabby! #gg

GCOOP: #5-Lo Deepstack Turbo, £1,000 GTD, £5 Buy-in
The lo event saw 188 players gunning for their share of the £1,000 GTD prizepool for just a £5 buy-in. The champion of the tournament ‘kidsligo’ locked up a £282.50 payday and 150 Road To Vegas Leaderboard points following a legendary heads-up battle with ‘HugeMyth’.
GCOOP Road To Vegas Leaderboard
The race for the coveted £3,500 #TeamGrosvenor Vegas packages is heating up. ‘Eclipse101’ remains top of the table but ‘Neal77’ has now penetrated the top 3 following their 3rd place finish in the Hi deepstack turbo. Its no surprise that ‘slinkybrs’s performance has propelled them into the top 3 where, as it stands, they would be joining #TeamGrosvenor for a week in Vegas and a shot at $1million. There are still plenty more events over the coming 3 days including the DOUBLE POINTS main events on Sunday so the leaderboard is far, far from decided!
Sponsored Pro Leaderboard
The grosvenorpoker.com sponsored pro leaderboard only includes the top 5 points scores from each pro, in order to make it a level playing field for the pros that aren’t able to play every event. As it stands, Rick Trigg’s online heater sees him out in front with Joe Beevers breathing down his neck in 2nd place. Andy Hills, with only two scores to his name has soared up to 3rd place and will no doubt be looking to build on that total and maintain his GCOOP sponsored pro crown.
Fun online session on @GrosvenorPoker#GCOOP #5 fell a little short of its guarantee, and I expect more overlays over the coming days.
Don’t miss out, and remember Sunday’s Main Events are worth DOUBLE leader board points. pic.twitter.com/ebnn0YURpn

Will Kassouf, Katie Swift and Jeff Kimber may be towards the bottom of the leaderboard for now but big finishes in the upcoming events could change all that!
GCOOP Continues
Pot Limit Omaha is the name of the game in tonight’s GCOOP tournaments. In this game type, players are each dealt 4 hole cards and must use 2 of them to make their hands. For those unfamiliar with the format, GCOOP is a great opportunity to try it out!
7pm – GCOOP: #6-Hi PLO (£3,000 GTD, 1R), £30 Buy-in
8pm: GCOOP: #6-Lo PLO (£1,000 GTD, 1R), £5 Buy-in
Play well and run better, good luck!
