Zhen Zhen: 8♥8♦

It was off to the races, and Han smashed the Q♣10♣10♠ flop, with Zhen unable to find a two-outer on the remaining 2♥J♥ runout.

Zhen Zhen – 125,000

In a single-raised three-way pot, action on the 10♠8♠4♥A♠ flop was checked to Alexander Wickham, who fired out a bet of 13,000.

Scott Nicol responded with a check-jam to 38,000, before Steven Keay rejammed, forcing a fold from Wickham.

Alexander Wickham – 210,000
Scott Nicol – 0

Kevin Frame, Kevin Brzozowski, Ramlal Basdeo, Sharaz Moad and Colin Downie will all have to fire another bullet to progress to Day 2 of the Mini Main Event.

Craig Combe opened to 6,000 from middle position, before Carlos Luzon three-bet jammed for 55,000 from the next seat.

Daniel Curry was in the big blind, and after some thought, he cold four-bet jammed for around 90,000, forcing Combe to fold.

Carlos Luzon: A♣8♠
Daniel Curry: A♦J♣

Luzon was dominated, and he was up out of his chair while wishing Curry good luck.

Luzon missed the 7♦6♦6♥ flop, but found top pair on the 8♦ turn. However, it was followed by the J♠ river, sending Luzon to the rail.

Daniel Curry – 150,000
Craig Combe – 110,000
Carlos Luzon – 0

Marc Brown moved all-in for 35,000 from the cutoff, and received calls from Zhen Zhen on the button, and Paul Lennon in the big blind.

On the Q♦6♣5♥ flop, Lennon check-folded versus a bet of 25,000 from Zhen.

Marc Brown: 5♠5♦
Zhen Zhen: A♥Q♥

Brown was in great shape with a set versus top pair, and although the A♦ turn brought a sweat, the 10♠ river was a brick.

Marc Brown – 112,500
Zhen Zhen – 155,000
Paul Lennon – 235,000

Brian Etheridge opened to 5,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 17,500 from Milorad Dobrijevic in the big blind.

Ehteridge called to see the J♦9♥5♥ flop, where Dobrijevic continued with a bet of 12,000.

Etheridge called, and the 3♣ hit on the turn. Dobrijevic fired again with a bet of 30,000, which failed to shake off his opponent.

On the 3♠ river, Dobrijevic triple-barreled with a bet of 35,000. Etheridge said “I don’t think I can fold”, and paid the bill.

Dobrijevic tabled A♠J♣ for top pair top kicker, and he had pipped Etheridge’s Q♠J♥.

“Nice hand, nice bet, I would have folded to a jam”, remarked Etheridge.

Milorad Dobrijevic – 248,000
Brian Etheridge – 98,000

Irish Open final tablist Mark Johnston was left with 13,000 after losing a flip with ace-king against jacks.

He was all-in here, and received action from Zhen Zhen and Douglas Muir.

On the K♣Q♣6♠ flop, Zhen check-folded versus an all-in bet of 25,500 from Muir.

Mark Johnston: Q♦8♦
Douglas Muir: K♠Q♠

Johnston was drawing to running eights, and they did not appear on the A♠A♣ runout.

Douglas Muir – 67,000
Zhen Zhen – 128,000
Mark Johnston – 0

Mark Johnston opened to 8,000 from the hijack, and was faced with a three-bet to 20,000 from Ross Haffie in the small blind.

Action folded back to Johnston, who produced a four-bet to 30,500. Haffie instantly moved all-in with the covering stack, and Johnston was forced to fold.

Ross Haffie – 185,000
Mark Johnston – 50,000

Jaime Staples opened to 4,500 under the gun, and received calls from Anthony Mullen and Kyle Scott in the blinds.

On the 6♦6♥3♠ flop, action was checked to Staples, who continued with a bet of 3,000.

Only Mullen stuck around for the 10♦ turn, where he check-called a bet of 10,000 from Staples.

The K♠ river completed the board, and Mullen check-called a bet of 12,000 from Staples.

Staples tabled J♥10♥ for two pair, and Mullen was bluff-catching with A♥Q♥.

Jaime Staples – 126,000
Anthony Mullen – 133,000

Kyle Scott was all-in for 33,000, and at risk against Scott Nicol.

Kyle Scott: K♥10♥
Scott Nicol: 8♦8♠

It was a fair fight, but Scott found a pair on the 10♠6♦5♥ flop, and there was no two-outer for Nicol on the A♥ turn or 5♣ river.

Kyle Scott – 71,000
Scott Nicol – 70,000

Late registration will close shortly in the poker.pro H.O.R.S.E event, with the ticker currently at 67 entries, creating a £3,350 prize pool.

Jaime Staples – 40,000
Rebecca Hardisty – 40,000

Alexander Wickham – 188,000

Shane Henderson was all-in for around 26,000 and at risk against Raymond Peacock.

Shane Henderson: A♦K♣
Raymond Peacock: 6♣6♠

It was a fair fight, and Henderson bricked the 4♥3♣3♠5♥6♥ runout, Peacock rivering an unnecessary full house.

Raymond Peacock – 58,800
Shane Henderson – 0

The players have been sent on their second break of the day, with late registration in Day 1a of the Mini Main closing before the start of the next level.

Anthony Mullen was all-in for 58,400 and at risk against David Gallagher, who just covered his opponent.

Anthony Mullen: A♠J♦
David Gallagher: 7♦6♦

Mullen was ahead, and Gallagher was drawing dead after the A♥A♦A♣ flop gave Mullen quad aces.

The 2♣5♦ turn and river completed the board, and Mullen quipped “It’s been a while since that happened!” as he raked in the pot.

Anthony Mullen – 120,800
David Gallgher – 3,100

Daniel Tresa opened to 3,200 from the hijack, and received a call from Alan Hadden in the cutoff, before John Woods produced a three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind.

Tresa folded, but Hadden called to see the 9♦8♦3♣ flop. Woods fired out a bet of 14,000, and Hadden took quite a bit of time for thought before calling.

The K♦ rolled off on the turn, and Hadden folded in the face of a jam of 37,800 from Woods.

John Woods – 98,000
Alan Hadden – 91,000

A pot of 27,000 had brewed on a flop of 7♣6♦4♠, and Alban Rrushi and Nicholas Scott checked to Sharaz Moad.

Moad slid out a bet of 12,000, and was met with an all-in from Rrushi of 32,000. Scott rejammed for around 125,000, forcing a fold from Moad.

Alban Rrushi: 5♣5♦
Nicholas Scott: 9♥8♣

Rrushi had third pair with a wrap draw, and was ahead of Scott’s own wrap draw.

The 9♣ turn put Scott in front with top pair, but the 8♥ hit on the river to give Rrushi the straight and double-up.

Alban Rrushi – 91,000
Nicholas Scott – 77,000
Sharaz Moad – 100,000

Kevin Frame opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Stephen Maxwell on the button, and William Smith in the big blind.

The J♥9♣3♣ flop was checked to the 7♠ turn, where action was checked to Maxwell. He fired out a bet of 4,000, which only Frame called.

The K♣ river completed the board, and Frame check-folded without ceremony in the face of a bet of 11,000 from Maxwell, who flashed 7♥7♣ as he raked in the pot.

Stephen Maxwell – 152,000
Kevin Frame – 110,000

Alexander Wickham opened to 2,500 from middle position, and David Gallagher defended the big blind.

On the A♣9♣9♠ flop, Gallagher check-called a bet of 2,500 from Wickham.

The same pattern followed on the 6♠ turn and 8♦ river, with Wickham betting 5,000 on both streets.

Wickham tabled A♥10♠ for two pair, aces and nines, and was frustrated to see Gallagher had rivered a straight with 10♦7♣.

David Gallagher – 90,000
Alexander Wickham – 56,500

Around 33,000 had made its way into the middle by the river on a board of 8♠4♦2♦9♦K♣.

Hugh Osborne and Josh Tweedie checked to Milorad Dobrijevic, who moved all in for 15,200.

Osborne called and Tweedie folded, and Dobrijevic showed K♠2♠ for two pair, which was good versus Osborne’s 10♦10♣.

Milorad Dobrijevic – 63,400
Hugh Osborne – 32,500
Josh Tweedie – 109,000

James Gray was all-in for 9,100 and at risk against Joseph Brannigan.

James Gray: A♣K♣
Joseph Brannigan: A♥Q♠

Gray was in a dominating position, and his better kicker played on the 8♣5♠2♣J♦4♦ runout.

James Gray – 20,700
Joseph Brannigan – 23,400

Ross Haffie opened to 2,000 from early position, and received calls from Richard Warburton in the next seat, and Daniel Curry in the big blind.

On the J♥6♥6♠ flop, Haffie continued with a bet of 4,000, which only Warburton called.

The 7♠ hit on the turn, and Haffie double-barreled with a bet of 8,000. Warburton responded with a raise to 17,000, and Haffie folded after a brief period of thought.

Richard Warburton – 58,000
Ross Haffie – 105,000

Alexander Wickham opened to 2,000 from early position, and received calls from Anthony Mullen in the cutoff, and Leslie Kearney in the big blind.

Action was checked to Wickham on the J♦8♠4♦ flop, who fired out a bet of 1,500.

Only Mullen called to see the Q♥ turn, where Wickham double-barreled with a bet of 3,500. Mullen raised to 10,500, and Wickham called.

The A♠ river completed the board, and Wickham check-called a bet of 21,500 from Mullen.

Wickham tabled A♣Q♣ for top two pair, but Mullen had rivered the straight with K♠10♥.

Anthony Mullen – 160,000
Alexander Wickham – 66,000

A pot of around 46,000 had developed by the turn on a board of K♦J♠9♠10♣, and Trevor Mills check-called a bet of 3,000 from Ivan Meister.

The J♦ river paired the board, and Mills checked once more. Meister jammed with the covering stack, and Mills made a relatively quick call for his remaining stack of around 30,000.

Meister tabled Q♦Q♠ for the one-card straight, well ahead of Mills’ A♣J♥ for trip jacks.

Ivan Meister – 130,000
Trevor Mills – 0

There was 9,000 in front of Ivan Meister in middle position, and 1,200 in front of 2025 Glasgow Main Event champion Zhen Zhen in the big blind.

Zhen called to see the 9♣4♦2♣ flop, which was checked to the 8♠ turn.

There was no action there either, and on the J♥ river, Zhen led out with a bet of 3,400, which failed to dispose of Meister.

Zhen tabled 10♣10♠, and Meister mucked.

Zhen Zhen – 54,000
Ivan Meister – 85,000

A pot of 22,400 had brewed by the river on a board of 10♥9♠6♦Q♠5♦, in a hand between Daniel Curry on the button and Calum Williams in the small blind.

Williams checked, and Curry fired out a bet of 22,000, almost covering Williams.

Williams spent a brief bit of time in the tank, but ultimately conceded the pot.

Daniel Curry – 53,000
Calum Williams – 22,200

With around 26,000 in the middle on a board of 7♠3♥3♣J♠, Darren Woodruff was all-in for 33,000 and at risk against Trevor Mills.

Darren Woodruff: 7♦7♥
Trevor Mills: K♦J♦

Woodruff had flopped the full house, and Mills required a jack to escape. The K♣ river was irrelevant, and Woodruff celebrated his double-up.

Darren Woodruff – 94,000
Trevor Mills – 3,100

Nicholas Scott opened to 1,500 from middle position, and received a call from Sharaz Moad in the hijack, before Ryan McVey produced a three-bet to 4,100 from the cutoff.

Both of his opponents called to see the J♥5♥4♠ flop, where action was checked to McVey. He fired out a bet of 5,000, which failed to shake off either opponent.

On the 10♠ turn, Scott checked to Moad, who slid out a bet of 12,000, forcing folds from both of his opponents.

Sharaz Moad – 75,000
Nicholas Scott – 35,000
Ryan McVey – 30,000

Alexander Wickham was sweeping in a huge pot, while Vitor Cortico was getting up out of his chair looking slightly stunned.

With around 60,000 in the middle and the board reading 9♦8♠4♦5♠2♦, Cortico check-called an all-in from Wickham for his remaining stack of around 45,000.

Wickham tabled A♦7♦ for the nuts, and Cortico turned over 9♠9♣ with dismay.

Alexander Wickham – 160,000
Vitor Cortico – 0

A pot of 15,000 had developed by the turn on a board of 4♦3♦2♣J♣, and Josh Tweedie checked from the cutoff to John Woods on the button.

Woods fired out a bet of 9,000, and Tweddie called to see the Q♣ river.

Tweedie checked once more, and folded instantly in the face of an all-in from Woods of 13,500.

John Woods – 45,000
Josh Tweedie – 13,500

A chunky pot of 24,300 had brewed by the river on a board of Q♣9♠6♦A♥5♥, in a hand between Alban Rrushi in middle position, and Stephen Maxwell in the big blind.

Maxwell checked, and Rrushi fired out a bet of 7,600. Maxwell spent a reasonable period of time in the tank, but made the call.

Rrushi tabled A♣Q♥ for top two pair, and Maxwell was frustrated to see his K♣K♥ had been usurped on the turn.

Alban Rrushi – 62,500
Stephen Maxwell – 27,000

There was 1,200 in front of Christos Loizou under the gun, and 3,500 in front of Nathan Drummond on the button.

Loizou called to see the [invalid notations] flop, where he check-called in the face of a bet of 2,400 from Drummond.

The 9♦ hit on the turn, and Loizou checked once more. Drummond jammed for around 6,200, and received a snap-call from Loizou.

Nathan Drummond: A♥J♠
Christos Loizou: A♣9♥

It was top pair versus two pair, and there was no escape for Drummond on the 8♦ river.

Christos Loizou – 80,000
Nathan Drummond – 0

With around 2,400 in the middle on a flop of 6♣5♦4♣, Michael Marco fired out a bet of 2,000, and was met with a raise to 6,000 from Brian Etheridge.

Marco called to see the A♣ turn, where he fired out a bet of 6,000.

Etheridge called to see the 6♠ river, where Marco again led out with a bet of 11,500. Etheridge jammed for around 26,000, and Marco snap-called for his roughly 20,000 stack.

Marco tabled A♥6♦ for sixes full of aces, and could barely believe his eyes when Etheridge turned over A♦A♠ for aces full of sixes.

Brian Etheridge – 75,000
Michael Marco – 0

Ishbel Leddy was sweeping in a full double-up, after waking up with pocket rockets versus her opponent’s pocket kings. The stacks made their way into the middle preflop, and Leddy flopped a set, rendering her opponent’s turned set irrelevant.

Leddy had apparently picked up pocket queens in the previous hand, hitting another set to bust her opponent, and has in excess of three starting stacks already.

Ishel Leddy – 134,000

Ramlal Basdeo opened to 400 under the gun, and received a call from Douglas McVey in the next seat.

Alex Gillies produced a three-bet to 1,700 next along, before Omid Nikjeh cold-called in the cutoff. Basdeo and McVey both called to make it four-way to the flop in a three-bet pot.

The 8♣5♦4♣ flop was checked to Gillies, who fired out a bet of 2,500. Nikjeh folded, but both Basdeo and McVey called.

The J♥ hit on the turn, and was checked through to the Q♣ river, where action was checked to Gillies.

Gillies slid out a bet of 6,000, which only Basdeo called. Gillies confidently tabled J♣J♠ for a turned set of jacks, but was shocked to see Basdeo had Q♥Q♠ for a rivered set of queens.

Ramlal Basdeo – 56,000
Alex Gillies – 30,000
Douglas McVey – 38,000
Omid Nikjeh – 35,000

Around 5,600 had made its way into the middle on a completed board of A♠K♠6♠A♣2♠, in a hand between Michael Dock in the cutoff, and Michael Marco in the big blind.

Marco checked, and Dock fired out a chunky bet of 5,400. Marco thought matters through briefly, before sending his cards to the muck.

Michael Dock – 42,800
Michael Marco – 37,200

Play is underway in Day 1a of the £150 buy-in, £50,000 guaranteed Mini Main Event, with 34 players already seated.

Early birds include David Docherty and London Main Event final tablist Ivan Meister, who are aiming to follow in the footsteps of Christian Watt as the Glasgow Mini Main Event champion.

The PartyPoker Tour crowned its latest Main Event champion just three weeks ago, as Daniel Smith of Wales turned a free online satellite ticket into a £22,500 payday in London. Now, the latest opportunity for players to etch their name into PartyPoker history has arrived, with the tour descending on the Alea Casino in Glasgow from 3-9 August for its sixth stop of 2026.

With the city fresh off hosting a hugely successful Commonwealth Games, attention turns from the pool and track to the tables. It is the second time the tour has been hosted by the stunning venue on the banks of the River Clyde.

Last year, Zhen Zhen battled to Main Event glory, overcoming a 256-entry field to bank £22,500 after slaying a tough final table comprising David Lappin, PartyPoker Tour ambassador Jaime Staples, Kevin Frame and Dean Lyall. Zhen remains the only female winner of the £100,000 guaranteed flagship event in tour history.
