Live poker will be hot in the UK this year with the return of PartyPoker Tour. Historically, PartyPoker live events have been very appreciated by players from all across the world, and there’s no reason not to be excited about the five upcoming stops in the UK during 2025.
What’s even better is that players can secure their seats at the tables through various qualifiers and satellites on PartyPoker’s online poker client. Let’s walk through the process of how you can go on the poker adventure of your life for as little as £0.20.
A Five-step Path to Glory
There will be five PartyPoker Tour stops in the UK during 2025, with three of them already being revealed. The star of each show will, naturally, be the £500 Main Event. From as little as £0.20, players can compete for £1,000 packages online on the PartyPoker client. These packages include the £500 Main Event buy-in and £500 for expenses such as travel and accommodations.
To acquire a package, a player must prevail in five rounds. By succeeding in round 1, you’ll advance to round 2, and so on. However, it should be mentioned that players can also buy in directly into each round, except for round 5, which is the final round in which the package is up for grabs.
Round one starts at the aforementioned £0.20; players can choose to play either a Sit N’ Go or a daily MTT—both of which hold this shy buy-in—and those who advance will move on to round 2. The second round is identical to the first one, the only exception being that the buy-in now is £1.
Things will start to heat up in round three. £5 MTTs will run daily, and when 20% of the field remains, these brave warriors will carry on their stack to the next round. The concept of round four is very similar to that of round three; the buy-in for the MTT that is round 4 is £25, and 15% of the players will virtually bag their chips and are then qualified for the final round.
Round five is a standard MTT tournament in which the players battle it out against each other. The winner takes home the £1,000 package. Round five will be played every Sunday at 20:00 GMT.
To summarize, players can either start from as low as £0.20 and climb their way all the way to round five, or they can buy in straight to any of the first four rounds. However, it’s not possible to buy in straight to round five; one must advance from round four to secure a spot in the final round. Every round is played daily except for round five, which is scheduled every Sunday at 20:00 GMT.
The online qualifiers are only available to players in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.
| Round | Buy-in | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| One | £0.20 | 6-Max SNG On-demand/Daily MTT | Win a round two ticket |
| Two | £1 | 6-Max SNG On-demand/Daily MTT | Win a round three ticket |
| Three | £5 | Daily phased MTT | Carry on your stack to round four (top 20%) |
| Four | £25 | Daily phased MTT | Carry on your stack to round five (top 20%) |
| Five | Advance from round 4 | MTT | Win a £1,000 PartyPoker Tour package |
The package can be used for any of the five UK stops in 2025. It’s also worth mentioning that players can receive a ticket for round one just by raking $0.01 from a real-money poker hand. There’s no question about it – PartyPoker is offering their players great opportunities to qualify for their hyped live events for a very cheap prize.
1,000 Seats Available Through Online Qualifiers
PartyPoker has big plans for its five events, and a minimum of 200 players per event will be able to get their seats through the online qualifiers. While the locations of two of the five events yet haven’t been revealed, PartyPoker already announced the first three events will be in London (April 19-27), Manchester (June 17-22), and Glasgow (August 12-17). Except for the previously mentioned £500 Main Event at each stop, there’ll also be a £150 Mini Main Event and a £1,000 High Roller at each UK destination – as well as other intriguing side events.
As stated previously, poker.pro will be at all the stops following the action around the clock, live reporting from all events. We hope we’ll see you at the PartyPoker Tour 2025.
