Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene, as the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was born. The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The 2025 PartyPoker Tour wrapped up with its fifth and final stop at the same place it began: Genting Casino Stratford, London. As is always the case with the PartyPoker Tour, the £500 Main Event headlined the schedule, and considering the biggest-ever PartyPoker Tour Main Event to date went down in London during the inaugural stop of the tour last year, the expectations were high for yet another big turnout in the English capital.
The Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Winter Edition attracted 399 entries, creating a £177,555 prize pool. In other words, the £100,000 guarantee was smashed in stellar fashion. After three days of intense poker action, it was Thomas Sanderson who emerged victorious, claiming the £27,780 first-place prize and the trophy.
Then, there was also the £150 Mini Main Event. A total of 726 entries translated to a £90,750 prize pool; the £50,000 guarantee was almost doubled. The tournament was a smashing success, and victory would belong to André Emerenciano, who emerged victorious and cashed for £14,530.
The PartyPoker Tour will return to Genting Casino Stratford, London, in 2026. It has been announced that the tour will pay the English capital a visit July 4-12, and considering the numbers the two previous London stops have delivered, players should have high expectations.
