The huge event called The Goliath has been breaking its own records for several years now, and this year is no different. With 11,749 entries, it has confirmed its status as the biggest tournament outside of Las Vegas.

The Grosvenor Casino Coventry is once again hosting the huge The Goliath tournament, which has been rewriting poker history for several years. The buy-in for the tournament has varied over the years and this year is £160+£40. The organisers were expecting a prizepool of £1.5 million.

Giant Goliath has 4 flights under his belt, will he break the record?

New record achieved

Last year the tournament managed to reach 11,493 entries and that was with a buy-in of £150. The prizepool was thus worth £1,379,160. This year, however, the numbers are higher and the casino has once again rewritten its own record. The final 11,749 entries means a prizepool of £1,879,840, making Goliath once again the biggest tournament outside of Las Vegas.

However, the casino also set another record for the number of entries in a single flighty. Yesterday's Flight 1G brought 2,189 entries and players had to wait in a long queue outside the casino to register.

Today we are already waiting for Day 2, where 991 players have made it through. Day 2 will kick off at 11:00 am and players will run through 40 minute levels. How much the winner will take home will be announced by the casino later today.
