Here we are, people. It’s the final day of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Manchester, and what better way to wrap it up than with crowning a winner of the £500 Main Event.
The nine remaining players have battled through two long, tough days to make it here. It’s safe to say that all players who’ve made it this far rightfully deserve their place at the final table, and boy, is it a skillful mix of players. In fact, four of them have more than $1,000,000 in total live earnings, according to The Hendon Mob. Andrew Wilson, perhaps more recognizable as “BowieEffect” online, is arguably the most experienced player left in the field, with more than $2,500,000 in total live earnings, including a WPT title. Add to that his incredible success online, and you have a very fearful player who will begin today’s final table fifth in chips.
Wilson will have his work cut out for him, though. Imran Pirmohamed has proven this week that he can lock horns with the best of them. He will begin the final table as the chip leader, albeit by the smallest of margins over both Michael Breen and Endrit Geci. The one who’s looking to defy the odds is Thales Salomao. To be fair, even though he’ll begin today’s battle with the least amount of chips, he still has 12 Big Blinds to work with.
All in all, it’s going to be an entertaining final table. The action will kick off at 15:00, and poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén is on-site at Manchester235 Casino, ready to cover every knook and cranny of the action.
