It was a busy weekend in Europe - this is our first of three updates from Europe ...

Leg 1 of the 2012 GUKPT (Grosvenor UK Poker Tour) was completed over the weekend. Scotland's Lewis Hunter collected the first PTPR Points of his career with the victory.

Hunter more than tripled his live career tournament earnings with the win. Over 49K GBP for the weekend grind!

Fifth place finisher Sam Grafton earned his first score of 2012. Grafton (2011 PTPR Rank: 1409th) earned a score at the WSOP last summer - in Event 26 - NLH Six-Max.
