The 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow was a memorable event that took place at the Alea Casino in Glasgow, Scotland. This article provides an overview of the schedule, Main Event details, and some notable participants.
Schedule Overview
The event was packed with various tournaments, including the £150 Mini Main Event and the £500 Main Event, each offering multiple starting flights for increased participation [1][2]. Side events such as the £60 PokerPro PL H.O.R.S.E. and £60 Satellite to the £500 Main Event were also part of the schedule [1][2]. The Main Event resumed on Sunday, August 17th at 2 PM UK time [5].
Main Event Details
The £500 Main Event was the highlight of the event, boasting a prize pool of £111,821 with 256 entries [1]. With four starting flights, the Main Event ensured a diverse field of players [3]. The event concluded on the final day with a dramatic finale, marking a successful end to the tour stop [1].
Notable Participants
The event attracted a mix of local and international players. Gajanthan Kamalanathan led the final table of the £150 Mini Main Event [2]. Irish player David Lappin was eager to participate in the event, joining local legends like David Docherty and Robbie Bull [3]. Barry Carter, a partypoker ambassador and the reigning Global Poker Award-winning Twitter Personality, was also involved in the event [3].
Behind the Scenes
The accommodation provided for the group was a ramshackle apartment in a small town. Daragh Davey and Sameer shared a twin room, while Dara O'Kearney and the author shared a double room. The group found the accommodation to be subpar, with only three rooms and one bathroom for four people [4].
The group initially checked into the Jury's Inn in Prague, but decided to leave the event early and return to Prague for better dining and sightseeing opportunities [6]. Upon arriving in Glasgow, they checked into a room with "Premium WiFi" that was also advertised as a "Honeymoon Suite" at the Ibis Glasgow, a budget hotel [7].
During their stay, the group carried eight boxes of baby formula without bags, purchasing it from ALDI [8]. They also scheduled an interview with Griffin Benger for their podcast "The Chip Race." However, the keys to the apartment were not in the same building as the apartment, and the group had to travel to a garage two miles away to retrieve the keys [9].
In an amusing turn of events, the author was mistaken for attempting to make a romantic move, and Dara O'Kearney mistook the author for his son's caregiver [10]. Despite these minor hiccups, the group had a memorable experience at the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow.
The partypoker Live German Millions took place in the spring of 2018 at King's Casino, and Barry Carter, partypoker ambassador, will be present at the event [11]. The Alea Casino Glasgow overlooks the river Clyde, making it a picturesque location for the tournament [12]. This was the second visit to the Alea Casino Glasgow for the author.
The 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow was an unforgettable event that combined poker action with social interactions among participants and ambassadors. It was a testament to the excitement and camaraderie that the world of poker can offer.
