The 2025 PartyPoker Tour London now heads into its final weekend, as the tour comes to an end in its hugely successful debut year, and Alexander Georgiev is still the player to catch in the Player of the Year race, leading from Deniz Orhan.

Although the top ten remains unchanged, Georgiev’s lead has been trimmed by more than 20 points. If PartyPoker Ambassadors Jaime and Matt Staples obtain prizes, they will be distributed to fans in some form of giveaway in due course.

Both Georgiev (188,000) and Orhan (217,000) have found bags for Day 2, so this looks like a battle that could go all the way to the wire.

The final Main Event flight, Day 1d, got underway at 11 a.m. featuring 15-minute blind levels, and Day 2 kicks off at 4 p.m., with the £100,000 guarantee already smashed, reaching £148,630 before Day 1d. Johnson Kitete-Kikumba (698,000) is the current chip leader, ahead of Kartik Kartik (618,000), while Dara O’Kearney (149,000), Triple Crown winner Niall Farrell (111,000), Will Kassouf (294,000) and PartyPoker Ambassador Natalie Bromley (140,000) are all still in the mix.

Mini Main Event champ Andre Leal (380,000) is well positioned to have a tilt at a festival double, after already locking up £14,530 for his earlier triumph..
