The PartyPoker Tour stop in Glasgow, Scotland, drew a record 701 entries for its £150 Mini Main Event, generating an £87,625 prize pool that comfortably surpassed both the £50,000 guarantee and last year’s £59,000 total. After a five-hour final table, Jack McMullan emerged victorious, earning a career-best £13,200 following a three-handed deal.
McMullan’s previous largest cash on record was just £560, from a runner-up finish back in 2016, making this win a significant milestone in his poker career.
The final table saw several notable names fall before the deal was struck. Craig McCairns, who improved on his ninth-place finish from the 2025 edition, was eliminated in ninth this year after his king-nine couldn’t beat Max Sinclair’s pocket tens. Mark Johnston departed in eighth when his ace-seven ran into McMullan’s pocket kings, while 2025 High Roller champion Abdul Mukit exited in seventh after his jack-ten lost to Oliver Hutchins’ pocket queens.
Sinclair later busted in sixth for a career-best £2,650 after his ace-jack shove was called by McMullan’s queen-six, which improved on the river. PartyPoker Ambassador Joe Beevers fell in fifth, and Callum Wallace’s run ended in fourth when his king-queen was outdrawn by McMullan’s ace-three.
The remaining three players—McMullan, Hutchins, and Welch—negotiated a deal guaranteeing each at least £10,000, leaving £3,000 and the trophy for the eventual winner. Welch was eliminated next, before McMullan defeated Hutchins in heads-up play, completing a straight on the river with jack-nine to seal the title.
Attention now turns to the £500 Main Event, where Day 1a attracted 103 entrants, with David Gallagher leading 26 survivors into Day 2.
