It’s safe to say that the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville is off to a great start. The first starting-day flight of the €150 Mini Main Event became the biggest one ever on the PartyPoker Tour with 228 entries, meaning €28,500 was collected towards the €50,000 guaranteed prize pool.
As is the case with all starting-day flights for this specific tournament, Day 1a played down to 15% of the field, which translated to 34 players. PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Niall “Firaldo” Farrell made it through, but the chip lead belongs to Peggy “Pocket Peg” Crawford.

The schedule also features Day 1c (which is a turbo flight with 20-minute levels instead of 30), a €30 Target Stack Satellite with three Mini Main Event tickets guaranteed, and the €100 PLO Masters Big O for the Omaha enthusiasts. It’s become evident that the live poker scene is hot in Seville, and it’s an educated guess that Admiral Casino will only get busier and busier. For example, more PartyPoker Tour Ambassadors, such as Glenn Brown and Barry Carter, are confirmed to join the action tomorrow.
