Before we suck our teeth into Day 1B of the £150 Mini Main Event, let’s take a trip down memory lane.
Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene. It was a slam-dunk success, and to see the tour growing in 2026 is wonderful.
Sheffield is the first out of a total of four announced stops of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour. The flagship tournament of each event will arguably be the £500 Main Event. Below is a breakdown of last year’s Main Event winners, and time will tell which players join the Hall of Fame in 2026.
