- Day 1 (Sunday): The £50,000 GTD Mini Main Event drew 151 entries in its first flight, with Florin‑Vasile Sturzu bagging 949,000 chips. The first poker.pro event, £100 buy-in PL Sviten Special draw 38 entries and saw PartyPoker Ambassador Jaime Staples cash fifth with Matt Murphy taking the title, while John Murray won the PLO Masters Saturday Party Madness Courchevel Bounty ahead of runner‑up Deniz Orhan.
- Day 2 (Monday): Mini Main Event Day 1B attracted 109 entries, with 16 advancing; Staples bagged a healthy 227,000. The PLO Masters 4/5/6 Bounty crowned another champion.

This isn’t just a Hold’em grind. The schedule leans heavily into variety, which is where poker.pro coverage really shines.
Why It’s Worth Following
PartyPoker’s “Putting Players First” model, with no hidden fees, transparent prize pools, and accessible buy-ins, is clearly resonating, and the turnout reflects that.
Add in mixed games, strong fields, and a busy London setting, and this is one of the more complete stops on the current live calendar.
The Simple Way to Follow
If you want to keep it easy:
- Check poker.pro for daily recaps and live updates
- Tune into the stream for the big moments later in the week
- Follow key chip counts and stories as fields narrow
Everything else is noise.
