"Kudos to Grosvenor"
PokerNews spoke to Team Grosvenor in the lead up to the first online Goliath. Here's what Jeff Kimber and Katie Swift had to say.
��Kudos to Grosvenor. They took the decision early enough that their flagship event just wouldn��t be possible and went about setting up a whole week of online poker, headlined by the Goliath Main Event with a ��100K guaranteed for a ��125 entry. There won��t be 10,000 entries, but there will no doubt be over 1,000 and it��ll be great.��
Katie Swift finished second in the 2015 edition of the Goliath and, rightly so, has mixed feelings about switching online. Swift says she��s most excited about the new opportunity created by Grosvenor Poker who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create a schedule for pros and recreational players alike. Swift was quite philosophical when asked about Goliath switching online.
��Obviously there is some disappointment felt that the live Goliath as we know and love it had to be cancelled, especially for what would have been an amazing 10th-year anniversary celebration. For me, I adapt pretty well in tough situations, so embrace any new challenge positively. Zero-point thinking of what might have been and wasting energy. Best to just focus on the present and embrace it positively.��
