The final stop of the 2025 PartyPoker Tour finished with a bang in London, with no fewer than five side events on offer on the last day at Genting Casino, Stratford, alongside the Main Event and PLO Masters Main Event being brought to their conclusions.

After a five-way deal that left £9,000 for the winner, Thomas Sanderson of the United Kingdom walked away with the trophy and £27,780 in the Main Event, defeating Antonis Poulengeris heads-up. The £500 buy-in event gained 399 entrants, creating a £177,555 prize pool, which was shared between 62 players.

Sanderson, a Spin & Go expert, defeated Antonis Poulengeris heads-up, and denied Andre Leal a historic Mini Main-Main Event double.

Sanderson was delighted to take the trophy, commenting “It feels great, I sort of don’t have any words really. I’m a Spin & Go pro and play alot on Party, and got a ticket via the rake I produced on Spins, so a really nice deal.”

“I’ve really enjoyed the PartyPoker Tour, I’ve been to three stops. It’s a great atmosphere and I really enjoy the structures, you get a lot of play for your money. It’s nice to get out of the house and play live, and I’ve met a few people here that I battle online so that’s been great.”

On whether he has any plans for his early Christmas present, Sanderson continued “I’m not sure, probably the first £500 on a few beers tonight! Maybe a car, I’ll have to think about it!”

Alexander Georgiev was crowned Player of the Year, just pipping Deniz Orhan, in a battle that went down to the wire, securing a £5,000 package.
