Manchester Weekender Round-Up

Poker players from across the country gathered at Manchester 235 and The Poker Lounge from 28th May to 1st June for the Manchester Weekender £40,000 Guaranteed Event.

Each entrant paid £125 + (£25) to participate, receiving 25k Chips and selecting from seven Day 1 flights—each featuring different blind durations of 30, 24, 15, or 10 minutes, while maintaining a consistent, high-quality blind level structure.

This was our largest Manchester Weekender field event to date, with 357 runners battling it out and generating a £43,285 prize pool! After an intense competition, a three-way deal was struck, and Natan Turner emerged as the champion, claiming £7,100 along with the prestigious winner’s trophy.
