2025 Beer Poker Tour London – £185 NLH Main Event Double Mystery

It’s midnight at the Beer Poker Tour and there are still two flights of the Main Event in progress.

Will Kassouf has recently busted from Day 1f, which had a total of 154 entries, from which 23 players will earn passage into Day 2, when the prize money and regular mystery bounties kick in.

Tonight’s turbo flight is on level 9 with one more to go until registration closes. So far, there have been 43 entries.

In total there have been 749 entries in the Double Mystery Bounty Main Event, with just one remaining turbo starting flight to go, Day 1h, which begins at 11am on Sunday.

That’s all for tonight’s blog, it’s now pumpkin time for this reporter.  We’ll be back tomorrow for the final day of the Beer Poker Tour London. Cheers!

Jason Glatzer entered the inaugural Poker Experience Tour event with two goals. The first was to break his duck in this casino and actually get a cash here, having soft bubbled here frequently, with not a squeak of a cash. He achieved his first goal by reaching the final table, but with the smallest stack of the ten remaining players. 

His second goal was the trophy, which he has been lusting after for the last few days here at the Beer Poker Tour.

He soon improved his chances of achieving goal number two, moving up the chip chart with a couple of early double ups. As players started to bust, he began climbing the cash ladder too. One by one players fell by the wayside and by the time Jason got heads up with Sam Anderson, he held the chip lead of 1.1m to 660k. 

Sam began aggressively and the stacks became more even, before Jason won a pot that re-established his chip lead. Just a few hands later, they both found cards good enough to commit with and got the chips in the middle.

Jason was ahead with A♦8♠

While Sam tabled K♦Q♥

Sam, whose tournament life was at risk took the lead on a flop of

The turn was 5♣, which didn’t change the situation, but the A♥ on the river, settled thee encounter in favour of the poker.pro CEO. 

Jason cashed for £865 for first place and took over £1,000 in bounties. Congratulations, you came, you saw and you conquered. Guess we don’t need to ask who’s buying the beers tonight!

In conversation with Glenn Brown afterwards, Glatzer paid tribute to his heads up opponent, noting also have been a worthy winner. He then confirmed the obvious, that he’s “absolutely thrilled and honoured to be the first ever Poker Experience Champion. He also acknowledged that he has his work cut out to try and defend his title at the next Beer Poker Tour event.

The Poker Experience Tour PKO is now heads up between Sam Anderson and Jason Glatzer. Sam has already won a seat in the PET September event, which also takes place here at Genting Stratford.

Jason has the chip lead, going into the heads up with 1.1m to Sam’s 660k.

The players on Table 30 in Day 1f of the Main Event seem to having a lot of fun. Earlier today someone tabled quads, which according to the bonus rules of the Beer Poker Table results in all players at the table getting a free beer (or merchandise) voucher.

They just all shouted loudly for the floor to come over, to verify that it had happened again. Someone tabled quad jacks and the beers started flowing.

Will “nine-high like a boss” Kassouf has returned to the Beer Poker Tour today and is playing in Day 1f of the Main Event. He’s being uncharacteristically quiet today, however. Oh yeah, of course there are the odd few occasions were his trademark phrases are being rolled out but more often he’s introspectively checking his phone today.

As this is one of the last flights of the Main Event, there are a few opportunities left o book a place in Day 2 and he seems very determined to achieve that. However, it doesn’t really look like he’s enjoying himself.

I’ve just watched the end of hand won by Will and having scooped it in, he’s now getting chatty and seems to be having fun once again.

“It’s called Texas Hold’em not Fold’em” he bantered as he raked in the pot.

Having been the short stack at the start, Jason Glatzer is now one of the last four on the final table. How far will he go?

This is what they’re playing for (the trophy only, not the model holding it).

The Beer Poker Tour London Double Mystery Bounty Main Event has reached 700 entries, with still two turbo starting days left to start.

Day 1e, the first flight of the day has just ended, with 19 players progressing from 126 entries.

Day 1f is now on level 7 and has had 145 entries so far, 106 of whom still have chips. 

Dat 1g Turbo is due to start soon.

The Poker Experience PKO, has now had its very first bubble burst and is now on its maiden final table of its inaugural running. Did I milk that a bit?

One player who is more than relieved to be taking his seat on the ten-player final table is Jason Glatzer, who has just broken his duck in this venue, having soft bubbled here more times than he’d care to remember, but somehow can’t forget. However, he goes into the final as the short stack.

The unlucky player who missed out on the final table was Lisa McNamara, whose AQ failed to get there against sixes.

In total 88 players entered the very first Poker Experience Tour event. After 10 levels of heavy PETing, just 19 are still involved in the experience. One player who’s having a particularly good experience is Sam Acheampong, having busted several players already.  Sam Acheampong was having a great experience, but he’s just busted, so that might no longer be true.

The final will be ten handed and all will be in the prize money, with £865 for the top two prizes, in addition to the progressive bounties that they’re playing for. Jason Glatzer and Dillan Patel are both still in, as is Paul Moyce, who has a £240 Manchester Main Event seat on his head. 

Glenn Brown also had one on his head, but that’s been won. Glenn had the sense to bust just before the pizza party, which ensured he got a slice of the one with the very tasty prawn and chilli topping.

Day 1e of the Main Event is now on the second break of the day, having reached the end of level 10. Late registration will close when play resumes, with 50 of the 126 entrants still in their seats.

They’re off having some pizza and beers “on the Beer Poker Tour house” in the hospitality lounge…or they were, but it all got hoovered up rather quickly.

Meanwhile the Day 1f field is building nicely and has grown to 93 entries by the end of level 2. 

The sixth starting day of the Beer Poker Tour London Double Mystery Bounty Main Event is just about to start. Players are queueing up to buy-in with 51 having purchased their seats prior to the start. Dillan Patel is amongst those in the queue waiting to buy in.

Meanwhile, the fifth flight is in level eight and has risen to 124 entrants. Registration is still open in this and those lining up at the cash desk have a choice.

Meanwhile in the Poker Experience Tour event, Sam Acheampong has been winning big pots left, right and centre, scooping bounties as he does and celebrating in his trademark charismatic manner.

As Larry Love, the lead singer of Alabama 3 once said 

“it’s getting hot in here”

I’m referring to the poker, because actually the card room is quite a comfortable temperature, with the AC doing the one job it has properly today.

You don’t have to be, as the newest poker tour in the UK (it just began today) can check that box for you. It’s a low buy-in tour aimed at having a bit of fun. As these two seem to be having. 

The £95 PKO event is now on its first break, with the field up to 83 and late registration still open for one more 15-minute level, once they return to the tables.

poker.pro’s Jason Glatzer has increased his 20k starting stack up to 30k, but some have much bigger stacks than that, such as Lisa McNamara, who is up 62k now, but had been over 80k before losing a pot just before the break.

The fifth starting day of the Main Event at the Beer Poker Tour is now in the sixth level, with 111 entries so far. Late registration closes at the end of level 10. There are currently 77 of these left hoping to find a passage into Day 2 and the money. 

Matthew Cox, runner up in the poker.pro sponsored £150 4/5/6 Card PLO is was playing this flight, having taken a day off yesterday to recover from the late night finish on Wednesday. But as I’m writing this, he’s heading to the rail…or maybe the desk, to have another pop.

Apart from the Double Mystery Bounty Main Event, its also bring your pet to the casino day. Um, no, not really, but there is the very first Poker Experience Tour event ever taking place…PET.

Today it’s the £95 Poker Experience Tour PKO, which recently started. Prior to shuffle up and deal announcement, the men behind this new tour, Paul Moyce and Glenn Brown, welcomed the players.

Value City!

They also revealed that there’s an added mystery package for the winner* of today’s tournament for the first full festival of the Poker Experience Tour event in Manchester, which runs from 7-10 August at Manchester’s 235 Casino. Part of the mystery of what the package includes has been revealed, including a main event seat and 4 hotel nights, plus much more.

Don’t ask me what the much more is, as the name of the prize suggests, the much more is a mystery. Win it and find out!

Welcome to the biggest day of the Beer Poker Festival London. It’s the weekend, it’s sunny outside, but there’s hot action art Genting Stratford today, with three opening flights of the £185 Double Mystery Bounty Main Event. And if you think that’s a mouthful, try saying it while downing a pint!

Over 400 players took part in the first four starting days, with 65 already through to tomorrow evening’s Day 2. Would you like to join them?

Today’s Main Event Schedule

So, here we are and here we are and here we go
All-in a lot and hitting’ the board
Here we go, poker-ing all over the world!

Two of today’s three starting flights are still in progress, with one completed and done.

Day 1b was the first of the day, with cards sliding across the table from 2pm onwards. 101 players took their seats for this one, 16 of whom survived.

Day 1c, was busier, with 150 entries, progressing 23 players into the money stage of the tournament.

Day 1d was the turbo flight, starting at 9.30pm and was the quietest smallest field of the day, with 50 entries and 8 making it to Sunday’s Day 2. 

Despite its small size, Day 1d Turbo was easily the loudest flight that took place on Friday, due to the presence of Will “9-high like a boss” Kassouf.

But it didn’t go quite the way he expected, the deck refused to obey his instruction to keep the river low, delivering an ace for his opponent’s A♦J♠ to better his 10♦10♠. He’ll be back for another pop or two on Saturday.

With half for the four starting flights already competed, there’s been a total of 419 entries, with 65 players already progressed to the next stage of the tournament. Three more flights take place on Saturday.

It was a short lived experience this time for me at the table in the Double Mystery Bounty Main Event of the Beer Poker Tour London.

I took my seat during the second level of the day, with blinds at 200/400 with a 400 running ante.

During my first lap of the table I was dealt these monsters..

nah

nope

uhuh

pfft

I very nearly played this one.

give over

Defended my big blind to this one, but the picture card heavy flop didn’t encourage me to continue.

Rather than getting too involved with any of this muck, i figured i’d just pay attention and see if I could suss out what kind of players I was up against. 

The player in seat one was particularly aggressive, opening about 2-3 hands per round.

I continued to get similar monster hands for the next two levels, but found a few multi-pots that I could cheaply get into. But my hands didn’t really connect in any way with the boards and I went able to stay in any pots post flop.

Aware that I’m coming across like a rabbit in headlight, it’s hard not to notice that seat one was raising my big blind every time. 

I eventually chanced it against him, but not on the big blind, flopping top pair with A♠9♠on a board of 9♥8♦5♥. He checked to me, I bet, he raised, I shoved, he called.

But of course, this time he had it… 9♦9♣

The turn was 6♣giving me a chance to chop if a seven would fall on the river. But alas, the last card to hit the felt was 8♥ and that, as they say, was that. Nine high, like a chump. Goodnight Jon Boy!

Unfortunately, some events on the Beer Poker Tour schedule have had to be canceled. Here are the details.

The Beer Poker Tour Double Mystery Main Event is a very unique one, there are bounties on Day 1 as well as on Day 2. They’re not as big, mostly £5 or £10, but there’s a £200 top prize. 

You can also win a free drink voucher simply by taking down a hand with 9-high and shouting out in true Will Kassouf style “Nine High like a Boss”

Three flights today, the 2pm afternoon one is up to 96 entries with two hours of late reg to go.

The second flight of the day starts at 6pm and there’s news that a very big fish is having a go at this one. Yes, it’s me, I have a gun loaded with one bullet and I’m aiming high. 

Today’s coverage will be lite, maybe a hand or two, if I last long enough. Will I end up on the same table as Will Kassouf? Will I take any Day 1 mystery bounties? Will I make it to the end of the flight? 

The answers to these questions might be answered later on, but now I have to head off and read up on which starting hands to play and refresh myself of the rules of this game. Does a flush even beat a straight? 🤷‍♂️

The Main Event had its first flight on Thursday, which ran side by side with poker.pro £150 4/5/6 PLO. Today the action cranks up a gear, with three starting days, the first of which begins at 2pm. 

On Thursday the first of eight starting days of the Beer Poker Tour’s unique £150 Double Mystery Bounty event took place. Eighteen players made it the end of the day, which stopped when the field was reduced to 15% of the 118 entries in the flight.

The player with the chip lead is Sukhdev Singh, who was the only person to cross the 1m barrier, but only just. Alexandru But also bagged a big stack, but is someway off the leader, on 730,000 and George Demetriou sits in third with 630,000.

It’s midnight at the Beer Poker Tour and there are still two flights of the Main Event in progress.
