PartyPoker Tour ambassador Rebecca Hardisty tops the standings in Day 1b of the Main Event, as the players are about to be sent on their third break shortly.
Rebecca Hardisty – 370,000 Johnny Kelly – 355,000 Gary Swan – 330,000 John Woods – 306,000 Joel Baxter – 300,000
Day 1b is approaching the Day 2 cutoff point, after the recent exits of Graeme Reid, Michael Breen, Dean Hutchinson, Peter Bruin and David Jackson.
William Henderson was getting up out of his chair, and a big pot was being shipped to Johnny Kelly, who had Q♥Q♣ on a board of 10♥6♠4♦J♥J♠, with Henderson holding 9♦8♣.
Alex Gleeson opened to 9,000 from early position, and received a call from Johnny Kelly in middle position, and Darren Harbinson on the button.
On the 5♠4♦2♦ flop, Gleeson checked to Kelly, who fired out a bet of 20,000. Harbinson jammed for around 82,000, Gleeson folded, and Kelly made a quick call.
Darren Harbinson: 10♠10♦ Johnny Kelly: K♥K♠
Harbinson’s overpair was crushed, and there was no two-outer on the J♣J♦ runout.
Johnny Kelly – 220,000 Alex Gleeson – 85,000 Darren Harbinson – 0
With 33,000 in the middle on a board of A♠A♣Q♥7♣10♠, Michael Breen was all-in with the covering stack, and Steven Keay was in the tank, with 30,200 behind.
After around a minute, Keay made the call. Breen tabled A♥10♥ for two pair, and Keay tapped the table and flipped K♠K♥ as he departed.
Natalie Bromley was all-in for 27,000 and at risk against Darren Harbinson.
Natalie Bromley: Q♦Q♣ Darren Harbinson: 10♣10♥
Bromley looked in great shape, but had a bad feeling. “I always bust with queens.”
Sure enough, the ten was in the window on the 10♦6♠3♦ flop, and there was no recovery for Bromley on the A♠5♦ remaining runout.
Harbinson is on fire at the moment, having lifted the trophy in the Summer in Dublin Irish Poker Tour Main Event, and The Hendon Mob Championship in Nottingham, in July alone.

A total of 17 players are seated for the start of play in the PLO Masters Main Event Day 1a, with late registration open until the start of Level 10, and two further starting flights are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on August 8.
Niall Farrell opened to 2,300 from the button, and Andrew Mackenzie defended the big blind.
On the J♥10♦8♥ flop, Mackenzie check-folded versus a continuation bet of 1,500.
In the next hand, Farrell opened to 2,200 from the cutoff, and Peter Bruin defended.
Bruin check-called a bet of 2,000 from Farrell on the 10♠4♠2♦ flop, before the 5♦ turn was checked to the 10♥ river.
Bruin led out with a bet of 4,000, and Farrell folded after a brief period of thought, saying “For the record, I think you’re bluffing, but I can’t beat some bluffs either. If I had king-high, I call.”

Day 1a of the £250 PLO Masters Main Event kicks off at 5 p.m., with JJ Hazan keen to defend his title.
Players will sit down to a 50,000 starting stack, with the clock set to 30-minute levels. Late registration remains open until the start of Level 10, with 15% of the field scheduled to qualify for Day 2.
Day 1b and turbo flight Day 1c take place at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on August 8 respectively, with Day 2 at 3 p.m. on August 9.
Daniel Gormley tops the standings as the players are about to be sent on their second break of the day, with the top stacks as follows:-
Daniel Gormley – 198,000 Joel Baxter – 175,000 Stuart McNally – 162,000 Andrew Mackenzie – 158,000 James McAulay – 148,000 Jamie Geraghty – 138,000 Matthew Wharrie – 135,000
Some big names are in the Day 1b field, including Niall Farrell (50,000), Sam Acheampong (17,000), Kevin Frame (55,500), Rich Kellett (18,500), Jack Hardcastle (42,000) and Darren Harbinson (64,000).

Level 5:

Entries:
90/110
Prizes:
£100,000
With 7,000 in the middle on a completed board of K♦6♠3♥2♦7♦, Alan Hadden had fired out a bet of 6,500 from under the gun, and was met with a raise to 32,500 from Stephen Docherty in middle position.
Hadden, with 7,700 behind, was in the blender contemplating the decision, and talking himself through the hand.
After about two minutes Docherty asked “You have a king?”, and some more chatter ensued between the pair, to the point where Docherty admitted he had it.
Another 90 seconds went by before another player called the clock, and as the floor came over, Hadden folded.
Pamela Cairney limped from early position, and Deniz Orhan followed suit in the next seat, before Paul Leckey raised to 1,800 from the hijack.
Indrani Sarasingh called in the big blind, and Cairney made up the difference. Orhan went for a three-bet to 14,200, and all three of his opponents folded, picking up some nice dead money.
Orhan showed J♦J♣.
Deniz Orhan – 56,000 Paul Leckey – 42,000 Pamela Cairney – 68,000 Indrani Sarasingh – 12,200

Level 4:
200/400 (400)
Entries:
82/97
Prizes:
£100,000
Ramlal Basdeo opened to 1,100 from the cutoff, and was called by Gordon Huntly and Luke Bird in the blinds.
The J♦7♠3♣ flop was checked to Basdeo, who fired out a bet of 2,100.
Only Bird called to see the 5♥ turn, where he check-called versus a bet of 4,000 from his foe.
Bird changed approach on the A♦ river, leading out with a bet of 3,000. Basdeo quickly called, and Bird announced “Sixes”, and mucked when Basdeo tabled J♥9♦ for second pair.

Level 3:
100/300 (300)
Entries:
57/62
Prizes:
£100,000
Ian Swan opened to 700 under the gun, and received calls from PartyPoker Tour ambassador Natalie Bromley in the next seat, Darren Harbinson on the button, and Stuart McNally in the small blind.
The K♥9♦6♦ flop was checked to the A♣ turn, where Swan fired out a bet of 1,500.
Only Harbinson called to see the 6♥ river, which was checked through.
Swan tabled Q♣9♣ for third pair, and Harbinson took the pot with A♥4♥.
Darren Harbinson – 45,000 Ian Swan – 64,000 Natalie Bromley – 50,000
With 24,000 in the middle on a board of A♠K♥4♦6♣, Daniel Gormley checked from the hijack to Manchester Main Event champion Michael Breen on the button.
Breen slid out a bet of 10,000, and Gormley called to see the K♠ river.
Gormley checked once more, and Breen moved all-in with a bet of 15,800, and looked concerned when Gormley snap-called.
Gormley tabled A♣A♥ for the full house, and Breen tapped the table as he flipped J♣J♦.
Each of David Mackie, Paul Hempseed, Nadeem Abbas and Darren Harbinson had put in 1,800 preflop, to see a board of K♣8♦3♥.
Each player knuckled their option, and the 3♦ rolled off on the turn. Abbas led out with a bet of 2,200 from the small blind, forcing folds from Harbinson and Mackie, but Hempseed responded with a raise to 7,000 from the button.
Abbas called, and then check-called a bet of 13,000 from Hempseed on the 8♣ river. Abbas promptly mucked when Hempseed tabled A♠3♠ for trip threes.
Day 4 of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow contained plenty of drama, as Jack McMullan dominated a quickfire £150 Mini Main Event final table, and Laurynas Jakutis and Stephen Milloy enjoyed side event victories.
Day 1a of the £500 Main Event gathered a healthy 103 entries, with David Gallagher (461,000) topping a list of 26 qualifiers, which included Abdul Mukit (266,000) and Mark Johnston (252,000), both of whom final tabled the Mini Main Event, and Robbie Bull (158,000).
Jack McMullan Dominates £150 Mini Main Event Final Table (*£13,200 After Deal)
Ayrshire native Jack McMullan produced a dominant final table performance to emerge as the last player standing in the record-breaking 2026 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow Mini Main Event, securing the trophy and a £13,200 payday after a quick-fire five-hour shootout.
McMullan caught heat early, and only relinquished the lead for brief periods to Laurence Welch at the point of a three-way deal, and Oliver Hutchins shortly after. The agreement between McMullan (£10,200), Welch (£10,550), and Hutchins (£10,000) left only the destination of the trophy, and the final £3,000 of the prize pool, to be determined.
McMullan would emerge as the victor, securing a career-best tournament score for the Scot, normally found at the cash tables.
The £87,625 prize pool created by 701-runner field was a record for the event, and McMullan was delighted to be the last player standing, saying “Feels brilliant, it was a great day. I’ve not really played too many live tournaments, so thrilled, an amazing day. I play a couple of times a week, cash, and it’s great the Alea are getting these big tournaments coming, really fun, so yeh I’ll definitely be playing more!
I’ve been playing since I was 18, it’s my main hobby. There were some really good players at the final table today, so I was glad certain players busted. Oli’s a great player, so really pleased to win. Once the stacks evened out the deal made sense.”

A great turnout of 103 entries for the first flight of the £500 Main Event, with the tournament well on the way to reaching the £100,000 guarantee.

Winner’s Reaction
“Feels brilliant, it was a great day. I’ve not really played too many live tournaments, so thrilled, an amazing day. I play a couple of times a week, cash, and it’s great the Alea are getting these big tournaments coming, really fun, so yeh I’ll definitely be playing more!

Final Table Recap
A record-breaking field of 701 entries created a £87,625 prize pool, far in excess of the £59,000 gathered last year, and Hutchins started the day with the chip lead ahead of McMullan.

The champion set out his intentions early when he jammed the river on Max Sinclair. In the next hand, Sinclair three-bet jammed light from the big blind, and cracked Craig McCombe’s kings. McCombe was left with crumbs, and was the first casualty of the day shortly after, busting to Sinclair.
McMullan caught Sinclair bluffing, before the winner doubled short-stack Mark Johnston.
PartyPoker Tour ambassador, The Hendon Mob founder, and poker legend Joe Beevers had presumably been card dead, and although he got it in good versus McMullan, the champion’s momentum could not be stopped, ending ‘The Elegance’s run in fifth.
Callum Wallace was next to go in a button versus big blind spot, again against McMullan, who now held a significant lead.
That gave Welch the lead when the deal was discussed, and the highest sum banked. However, he departed in third after McMullan came from behind in a battle of the blinds.

Heads-up, Hutchins spiked a river to make a one-card flush to survive, but McMullan could not be denied, and took the title after going runner-runner to make a straight against Hutchins’ pair.

That concludes our coverage for today, but be sure to tune back into poker.pro tomorrow for the summary of today’s side events and our coverage of Day 1b of the Main Event, kicking off at noon.
Jack McMullan has emerged as a worthy champion in the £150 Mini Main Event in Glasgow, banking £13,200 and the trophy after defeating Oliver Hutchins heads-up, following a three-way ICM deal.
Stay tuned for a recap of the day and an interview with the winner.
Oliver Hutchins completed in the small blind, and Jack McMullan knuckled his option.
On the Q♥6♠4♦ flop, Hutchins led out with a bet of 500,000, and McMullan called.
The K♠ hit on the turn, and Hutchins double-barreled with a bet of 1,000,000, which failed to shake off McMullan.
The 9♠ river completed the board. Hutchins check-called in the face of a bet of 1,500,000 from his foe, and mucked when McMullan tabled K♣5♣ for top pair.
Jack McMullan – 12,300,000 Oliver Hutchins – 9,500,000
Oliver Hutchins was all-in for 5,375,000 and at risk against Jack McMullan.
Oliver Hutchins: A♣3♦ Jack McMullan: 4♥4♦
Hutchins needed help with a solitary overcard, and looked in bigger trouble when McMullan turned a set, but Hutchins found a one-card flush on the river to survive on the K♠J♣9♣4♣2♣ runout.
McMullan let out a yelp of pain when the river hit.
Oliver Hutchins – 11,500,000 Jack McMullan – 6,300,000
After the stacks have evened out following Laurence Welch catching some heat, a three-way ICM deal has been quickly agreed by the players, leaving £3,000 and the trophy to play for.
The stacks at the time of the deal and agreement reached are set out below:-
Laurence Welch – 10,550,000 (£10,550) Jack McMullan – 9,150,000 (£10,200) Oliver Hutchins – 8,325,000 (£10,000)
Jack McMullan opened to 400,000 from the button, and called a three-bet jam of 900,000 from Max Sinclair in the big blind.
Max Sinclair: A♥J♣ Jack McMullan: Q♣6♥
Sinclair was ahead, and the 7♥3♥2♦ flop and 10♠ turn were clear, but the Q♦ hit on the river to send Sinclair to the rail, and increase McMullan’s chip lead.
In the next hand however, McMullan lost a blinds battle to Oliver Hutchins with ace-nine against ace-queen, on a queen-high board.
In the next orbit, Hutchins limped from the small blind, and called a raise to 600,000 from McMullan.
Hutchins check-called a bet of 400,000 from McMullan on the A♣7♣3♦ flop.
The K♦ turn was checked to the Q♣ river, where Hutchins check-called a bet of 800,000 from his opponent.
Hutchins mucked when McMullan tabled A♦J♠.
In the next hand, with 2,800,000 in the middle on 10♦6♣5♠7♦3♠, McMullan check-folded versus a bet of 2,000,000 from Hutchins.
Jack McMullan – 10,450,000 Oliver Hutchins – 7,600,000 Max Sinclair – 0
With 1,500,000 in the middle on a board of 10♠8♣4♣4♥7♠, Jack McMullan fired out a bet of 1,1,00,000 from the big blind, forcing a fold from Callum Wallace.
Jack McMullan – 6,800,000 Callum Wallace – 5,050,000
With 800,000 in the middle on a flop of 10♠10♣3♣, Jack McMullan check-called from the big blind in the face of a bet of 250,000 from Max Sinclair in early position.
The J♦ turn was checked to the A♣ river, where McMullan jammed with the covering stack, and Sinclair folded after a spell in the tank.
In the next hand, Craig McCairns opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and Sinclair three-bet jammed 1,075,000 from the big blind, receiving a snap-call from McCairns.
Max Sinclair: 7♣4♣ Craig McCairns: K♥K♦
Sinclair had run into a monster, but he went runner-runner for the flush to survive on the Q♦3♥3♣8♣A♣ runout.
Max Sinclair – 2,450,000 Craig McCairns – 475,000 Jack McMullan – 5,300,000
Day 1a of the three-day £500 buy-in, £100,000 guaranteed Main Event is underway, with 46 players registered already, including Brian Etheridge, fresh off a deep run in the Mini Main.
Other early birds include Robbie Bird, Angela Rogan and Ivan Meister.
Players sit down to a 50,000 starting stack, with the clock set to 40-minute levels. Late registration remains open until the start of Level 10, and 25% of the field will qualify for Day 2.
There are two further starting flights on August 7, with the final hyper flight on August 8.
The highlight of Day 4 of the PartyPoker Tour Glasgow is the final day of the record-breaking £150 Mini Main Event, with Oliver Hutchins (6,330,000) leading the final nine hopefuls, and in pole position to take the £16,250 reserved for the champion, while the £500 buy-in, £100,000 guaranteed Main Event gets underway, with Day 1a kicking off at 2 p.m.
In the Mini Main Event, Hutchins leads from Jack McMullan (4,700,000) and Callum Wallace (3,630,000), while PartyPoker Tour ambassador Joe Beevers (3,080,000) is still in the mix, and Irish Open final tablist Mark Johnston (1,025,000) is the relative short-stack.

It was another thrilling day of poker action on August 5 at the Alea Casino, Glasgow, as Day 3 of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow saw the final table of the £150 Mini Main Event set, and James McAulay and Sharaz Moad become the latest PartyPoker Tour champions.
£150 Mini Main Event Day 2
A record-breaking field of 701 entries created a huge £87,625 prize pool, and 105 players returned for the penultimate day with David Doherty in the lead, and a £300 payday secured.
The knockouts came at a rapid pace, as players such as Jason McDonald and Marc Brown suffered early exits, while reigning Glasgow Main Event champion Zhen Zhen also came unstuck.
Andrew Hawksby vaulted into a massive lead when he was on the right side of a huge aces versus kings cooler against fellow big stack Brian Etheridge.

The field continued to be thinned in rapid fashion, and by the second break three tables were left, with Hawksby joined by Mark Johnston at the top of the standings, with Hutchins not far behind.
Hutchins was left with dust after he doubled David Mackie, but rallied to mount an epic comeback. First, he pipped Vladyslaw Mudryk to dispose of the Ukrainian, before he picked up kings to double against Edoardo Mancinelli’s jacks.
Then, in a three-way all-in scenario, Hutchins made quad sevens to overcome Steven Queen’s ace-king and Callum Reid’s pocket queens.
Max Sinclair secured a crucial triple-up in a hand where Craig McCairns busted Niall Farrell in the side pot in eleventh, and the final table was set when Hawksby exited to Hutchins with a dominated ace.
The players will return at 4 p.m. on August 6 for the final table, all with their eyes firmly set on the £16,250 first-place prize, with the seat draw as follows:-

A fuller recap of the day will follow in the morning. The final day kicks off at 4 p.m. on August 6, and the players will play 3 more hands at the current level, and 18 hands per level will be completed at the final table.
That concludes our substantive coverage for the day, but be sure to join us at poker.pro from 4 p.m. on August 6 for the thrilling finale to the £150 Mini Main Event.
Craig McCairns opened to 200,000 from the cutoff, before Niall Farrell three-bet jammed for around 1,380,000 from the small blind.
Max Sinclair was in the big blind, and he moved all-in for 775,000. McCairns thought for a period, but made the call, creating a three-way all-in scenario.
Max Sinclair: Q♣9♣ Niall Farrell: 6♦6♣ Craig McCairns: 9♠9♦
McCairns looked in good shape for a double knockout, but Sinclair went in front on the Q♥10♦5♠ flop, the A♠ turn and 2♥ river confirming his triple-up.
Max Sinclair opened to 175,000 under the gun, and received a call from Callum Wallace in the next seat, before Brian Etheridge three-bet jammed for around 1,800,000 from the big blind.
Sinclair folded, but Wallace made a quick call.
Brian Etheridge: A♠J♠ Callum Wallace: A♥K♥
Etheridge was crushed, and there was no escape on the K♣J♣3♦9♠8♠ runout.
Callum Wallace – 5,300,000 Max Sinclair – 1,000,000 Brian Etheridge – 0
Steven Queen moved all in for 670,000 from early position, and was called by Oliver Hutchins, before Callum Reid moved all-in for around 640,000 from the button, creating a three-way all-in scenario.
Callum Reid: Q♠Q♣ Steven Queen A♦K♠ Oliver Hutchins: 7♥7♦
Reid looked to be heading for a triple-up, but Hutchins found a set on the flop, and rivered quads, on the K♥9♣7♠10♦7♣ runout, much to the table’s astonishment.
Hutchins has went on an absolute tear, spinning up a 50,000 stack to over 5,000,000 in about 40 minutes.
Oliver Hutchins – 5,250,000 Steven Queen – 0 Callum Reid – 0
Trevor Mills was heading to the payout desk, after he flopped second pair with K♠9♣ on 10♥9♥4♠, but ran into Abdul Mukit’s A♥A♠, there being no escape on the J♦10♣ runout.
John Aitken was getting up out of his chair, and his 645,000 stack was being passed to Laurence Welch, after Aitken’s 10♠7♦ ran into Welch’s A♦A♥, the board reading 7♣4♥2♣K♥2♦.
A big pot was being sent to Edoardo Mancinelli, and Pamela Cairney was gathering her things, but unfortunately it was only possible to ascertain that Mancinelli had kings, the rest of the cards having already been swept away.
Kevin Whelan was getting up out of his chair, and his final 440,000 was being sent to Brian Etheridge, after the chips hit the middle on a flop of 9♣9♠4♠.
Whelan had 5♦4♦, but Etheridge had A♦9♥, and improved to a full house on the J♣A♣ runout.

Mark Clancy was getting up out of his chair, after David Mackie turned a straight with 9♣7♣ on K♠8♥6♠5♥A♣, Clancy holding K♣Q♣, with the final chips hitting the middle on the river.
In a hand between the two big stacks at the table, Andrew Hawksby opened to 18,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 50,000 from Brian Etheridge in the small blind.
Hawksby produced a four-bet to 145,000, and Etheridge instantly five-bet jammed with the covering stack. Hawksby snap-called for his 777,000 total stack.
Etheridge looked shocked and dismayed, and said “Aces?”. Hawksby nodded, “Oh my god”, said Etheridge.
Andrew Hawksby: A♠A♣ Brian Etheridge: K♣K♦
It was a sickening button versus small blind cooler, and the ace was in the window on the A♦5♦4♣ flop, with the Q♣8♣ turn and river confirming a huge tournament chip-leading pot was going to Hawksby.
Andrew Hawksby – 1,574,000 Brian Etheridge – 200,000
Ross Radford moved all-in from the cutoff of 21,000, before David Carson three-bet to 75,000 from the button, forcing folds from the remaining active players.
Ross Radford: K♦10♥ David Carson: A♥Q♣
Radford needed help, but none was forthcoming on the J♦4♣4♥8♠A♣ runout.

Jake Millar: 6♦6♣ Edoardo Mancinelli: 8♠8♥
Millar was crushed, but a rubdown exit was to come, as Mancinelli’s pair was turned into eight-high with the board, and played, on the A♦Q♠7♦Q♣A♣ runout.
