UK poker pro scoops £350k in tournament wins
By Lewis - 22 May 2024
Cal Morreale swapped making bacon sandwiches at his parents’ bed and breakfast for playing poker professionally, making a living out of playing tournaments across the UK.
In 2023, Cal played his hand to win over £350,000 at Grosvenor Poker events, a testament to his dedication in constantly improving his abilities as a poker player. In the past few months Cal has won over £65,000 in the GUKPT London, £58,000 in the Coventry UK Open Festival and most recently drawing a King Ten and winning over £100,000 in the GUKPT Manchester Main Event.
Cal commented on going professional with Grosvenor Casinos: “It has been a real whirlwind becoming a poker pro for Grosvenor Casinos. I’ve found I get lots of questions from other players on how I’ve maintained my success, winning my past tournaments. I am excited for the future and playing bigger tournaments as well as travelling to destinations like Las Vegas to play the World Series of Poker in May.”
Luke Hobbs, Poker Marketing Manager at Grosvenor Casinos, commented: “It has been a real pleasure watching Cal go from strength to strength playing poker and going professional with Grosvenor Casinos. We’re excited to see what the rest of 2024 has in store for Cal.”
