    Level 11:1,000/2,500/2,500
    Entries:69/150
    Prizes:£124,600

    Raneel Bhatti opened to 5,500 in early position, and was met with a three-bet jam from Jaime Staples from the cutoff for 34,000. Prior to that a queen had been exposed when a player folded.

    Bahtti hesitated, but made the call.

    Jaime Staples: A5
    Raneel Bhatti: AQ

    “Sorry it was only because of the queen”, said Bhatti, conscious that it may be perceived as a slow roll.

    Despite a queen being gone, ace-queen high with a board pair of fours was enough for Bhatti to send Staples packing.

    Raneel Bhatti – 232,000
    Jaime Staples – 0

    “Unlucky” commented a table mate as Mahnut got up out of his chair and started to leave. “Why unlucky?” queried Boci, a cheeky grin on his face. “You’re right, I’m just being nice, you were ahead the whole time” laughed the other player.

    The 8 river was checked through, and E.L. was dismayed to see his A2 for the turned nut flush was no good versus Tang’s J7 for the rivered full house.

    S.Z. check-called a bet of 15,000 to see the 6 river, where he checked once more. Veskins fired out a bet of 40,000, covering S.Z.’s remaining stack.

    S.Z. went into the tank, and there was a fair bit of chatter between the two, Veskins intimating he knew S.Z. had queens or jacks.

    S.Z. said “One minute you’re trying to talk me into a call, the next you’re trying to talk me into a fold.” He ultimately made the call, and saw his QQ was good versus Veskins A7.

    G.P. limped under the gun, and Chris Yong followed suit on the button, before PartyPoker Ambassador Barry Carter jammed for 21,600 from the small blind.

    Fabian Donovan was in the big blind, and he three-bet jammed for around 44,000. G.P. tanked for a bit, but made the call. Yong folded to create a three-way all-in scenario.

    Barry Carter: A10
    Fabian Donovan: QQ
    G.P. – AK

    Donovan looked in good shape to scoop a big pot, but the AJ8 flop put G.P. in front.

    The A improved him further, and Carter nor Donovan could find any outs on the 7 river.

    On the 1052 flop, Constable check-called a bet of 2,000 from M.R.

    The 4 hit on the turn, and the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 15,000 from M.R.

    The 5 river completed the board, and Constable checked once more. M.R. jammed with the slightly covering stack, and Constable snap-called for his 29,400 total stack.

    M.R. tabled KK for two pair, kings and fives, but Constable had turned the straight with A3.

    Boci fired out a bet of 19,500, and P.O. called to see the 10 river, which brought potential flushes.

    Boci checked, and P.O. jammed for around 60,000, covering Boci. Boci went into the tank, and ultimately made the call, but was dismayed to see his 66 for a set of sixes had been rivered by P.O.’s K2 for the king-high flush.

    K.C: AQ
    Anatolie Haruc: QQ

    Haruc had laid a trap, and it worked perfectly after K.C. could not connect with the 1010987 runout.

    The 5 hit on the turn, and the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 5,000 from Woodford.

    Veskins could only laugh when Woodford tabled 55 for the rivered set, which forced Veskins to muck.

    After a preflop raising war, Charles Smith was all-in for around 30,000 and at risk against PartyPoker Ambassador Sam Acheampong. Before the cards were tabled, Smith said to Acheampong “You’ve got me”.

    Smith tabled AA and Acheampong exploded with laughter, saying “This guy, you’ve got me he says, and turns over aces! Wait till you see, they’re getting cracked.”

    In unbelievable fashion, the jack was in the window on the J87, causing the entire table to erupt, with Smith also seeing the funny side.

    Smith could not find a miracle escape on the 4 turn or Q river, and gave Acheampong a big hug as he left the table, everyone creasing themselves.

    Sam Acheampong – 125,000
    Charles Smith – 0

    L.S. checked, and Mall fired out a bet of 20,000, leaving himself only 600 behind. The bet just covered L.S., and he took a quite a bit of time for thought before he made the call.

    L.S. tabled JJ for top set, and Mall mucked.

    Goonjan Mall – 600

    T.A. checked and Veskins jammed with the covering stack. As T.A. pondered his decision for a while, Veskins started chirping.

    “What are you thinking about? It’s surely a snap-call or snap-fold. You can’t have a set, you would have called by now.”

    T.A. continued to assess the spot, and after another minute or so Veskins called the clock. As the countdown started, T.A. folded.

    After a rapid six-hour final day, Andre Leal of Portugal has emerged as the last player standing in the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Mini Main Event, taking the trophy and first-place prize of £14,530, defeating Bulgarian Antanas Hristov heads-up.

    Leal overcame a 726-entry field, which created a £90,750 prize pool, smashing the £50,000 guarantee, with the final table results as follows:-

    The triumph represents Leal’s fourth recorded live tournament win, and pushes his recorded career tournament earnings towards the $200,000 mark (all figures courtesy of The Hendon Mob).

    Final Day Action

    Only 16 players returned to Genting Casino, Stratford for the final day, with Sebastian Constable leading the way at the start of play from Adewale Keshinro and Sidharth Menda. Menda unfortunately suffered an alarm malfunction, and only took his seat on the final table bubble. Only the poker gods will know if matters would have turned out differently.

    Dean Clay was the first casualty of the finale, busting to Keshinro, and he was swiftly followed by Benjamin Cox and Amber Loader, who also fell to Keshinro.

    Triple Crown winner Niall Farrell was next to depart, after he lost a blind on blind all-in confrontation with Constable.

    Sofia Irene proceeded to secure a double knockout when she woke up with cowboys against two inferior pairs, and the final table was set when Hristov brought D.B.’s run to an end in tenth.

    Final Table Summary

    Irene came into the final table with the lead, closely followed by Keshinro, while Leal was sitting in third.

    Keshinro claimed the first scalp, and the chip lead, when he outflopped Safak Senyuksel’s pocket queens.

    Irene wrestled the lead back when she disposed of Barry O’Shea in eighth, but took a hit when she doubled Menda, and sustained some further damage when Leal turned a one-card flush.

    Menda woke up with cowboys to bust John Squibb in seventh, and Irene took a big chunk out of Keshinro when she spiked the river to hit two pair with an inferior ace. Keshinro was left with crumbs after falling into a trap set by Hristov with Big Slick, and Constable finished him off shortly after in sixth.

    Menda was next to go when Leal spiked a pair on the river in a flip, and Leal was on the right end of another flip to bust Constable in fourth.

    That set the stage for three-handed combat between Leal, Irene and Hristov, with Leal and Irene almost even, and Hristov trailing, albeit only a double behind.

    A brutal cooler between the champion and Irene resulted in her downfall. Irene flopped top pair, but Leal had hit trips. All the chips hit the middle on the turn, leaving the victor with a 4:1 advantage over Hristov at the start of heads-up play.

    Leal only required one hand to bring the contest to a swift conclusion. Both players were dealt an ace, and while the Bulgarian had Leal dominated, the Portuguese went runner-runner to make the nut flush and take the title.

    That concludes poker.pro‘s coverage of the Mini Main Event, but be sure to stick with us for the rest of the week for full coverage of the remainder of the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London, including the £100,000 guaranteed £500 buy-in Main Event.

    Prizes:£90,750

    Niall Farrell has lifted some of the most illustrious trophies in poker, and the affable Triple Crown winning Scotsman is looking to add PartyPoker Tour London Mini Main Event silverware to his mantle piece today, as he enters Day 3 sitting 8th out of 16 qualifiers, on 1,120,000.

    The event attracted a total of 726 entrants, creating a £90,750 prize pool, obliterating the £50,000 guarantee, and a Day 2 field of 111 players was reduced to 16 by the end of play last night. All players have guaranteed a £680 payday, but will be targeting the £14,530 first-place prize.

    In a field featuring relatively uneven chip distributions, Farrell’s 11 big blind stack is far from the shortest, and he will be hoping to leverage his experience of deep tournament runs to wrestle the chip lead from current leader, Sebastian Constable (5,150,000).

    Constable caught serious momentum at the perfect time yesterday in Day 2. He had nursed a short-stack for most of the day, but in the final session was on the right end of two huge coolers, one resulting in a double knockout, that propelled him to the top of the standings.

    Constable has already locked up his biggest recorded live tournament score, and he leads from Adewale Keshniro (4,055,000) and Sidharth Menda (3,180,000).

    Sofia Irene (2,295,000) and Amber Loader (935,000) meanwhile will be hoping to become the first female winner of the Mini Main, taking inspiration from Zhen Zhen’s performance in Glasgow, where she bagged the Main Event title.

Constable holds a slim lead over Adewale Keshinro (4,055,000), while Sidharth Menda completes the podium places (3,180,000).

    Constable was a short-stack for much of the day, but caught some heat when he was on the right end of a cooler with rockets against Daniel Sumile’s queens, and then spiked the turn with Big Slick to bust two players in a monster pot in one of the last hands of the night.

    Triple Crown winner Niall Farrell (1,120,000) also remains in the hunt for the title.

    Chen used a time bank before folding, but Ghrabie made the call.

    On the 972 flop, Ghrabie checked, and Loader fired out a bet of 25,000. Ghrabie check-jammed with the covering stack, and Loader quickly called off for her 156,000 total stack,

    Amber Loader: KK
    Dost Grahbie: QQ

    It was a cowboys against ladies cooler, and there was no miracle two-outer for Grahbie on the 43 runout.
