While the GUKPT Main Tour goes on its annual hiatus the focus switches to the GUKPT Summer Series which features a similar selection of events to its bigger brother but with smaller buy-ins.
The action got under way over the weekend in Brighton with Dave McConachie taking the honours in the £500 Main Event.
