The second day of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Manchester is here, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday set the tone for the nine-day festival, and the expectations for today are high.
For poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén, the main focus of today will be Day 1b of the £150 Mini Main Event. Yesterday’s inaugural flight attracted 123 entries, and the field included PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Natalie Bromley. Bromley sadly finished in twentieth place, not long before the last 18 players bagged their chips for Day 2. The chip lead belongs to Cieran Tighe at this point (686,000), and time will tell whether someone can find a bigger bag in Day 1b. The reigning champion, Ion Oprea, is confirmed to play today’s Mini Main Event flight.
The tournament (and the poker.pro live coverage) will kick off at 16:00. In terms of side event action, today’s schedule also features the £150 PLO Masters 4/5/6 Bounty, a tournament that is destined to bring immense action. Later tonight, there’ll also be a £30 Target Stack Satellite to the Mini Main Event.
