After an impressive debut season kicked off in April at the Genting Casino Stratford, London, the 2025 PartyPoker Tour comes back to the same venue for its season-ending finale, running 14-21 December. An intriguing battle for the coveted Player of the Year title is on the cards, with Alexander Georgiev leading the way at present, and plenty of points available across a packed schedule covering all poker variants.
The previous four stops produced four separate winners in the flagship tournament, the £500 buy-in, £100,000 guaranteed Main Event. Big numbers ensured that figure was breached at each location, with players also flocking to the £150 buy-in, £50,000 guaranteed Mini Main.
Getnet Kassa became the inaugural PartyPoker Tour champion, triumphing in London for a £38,408 payday, while Deniz Orhan succeeded him in Manchester for a £19,843 score.
Zhen Zhen overcame a stacked final table in Glasgow, including David Lappin and PartyPoker ambassador Jaime Staples, to become the first female winner, boosting her bankroll by £22,500, while Tai Hoang locked-up £27,420 after victory at the penultimate stop in Birmingham. The win capped a remarkable week for Hoang, who also finished runner-up in the Mini Main for £9,080.
Despite a lack of Main Event silverware, Bulgarian Georgiev tops the 2025 PartyPoker Tour leaderboard heading into the final stop, with a £5,000 package up for grabs. Georgiev has racked up nine cashes, including three victories in side events, among four final table appearances.
Georgiev holds a 50-point lead over Orhan, with PartyPoker ambassadors Matt and Jaime Staples not far behind, while Will Kassouf is also in the mix, the top 15 players being eligible for prizes.
