Table Of Contents
The PartyPoker Tour is currently in Glasgow, Scotland, where its Mini Main Event set a new attendance record. Some 701 players had bought in by the time the late registration desk slammed shut, resulting in an £87,625 prize pool, eclipsing the £50,000 guarantee and the £59,000 collected in the 2025 edition of this £150 buy-in event.
Jack McMullan was the player who was the last man standing after a five-hour final table. McMullan, whose only Hendon Mob result was a £560 score from a runner-up finish in a tournament in 2016, got his hands on the winner's trophy and a career-best £13,200 after a three-handed deal.

*Prizes reflect a three-handed deal
Craig McCairns was the first finalist relieved of their stack. McCairns finished 10th in this tournament in 2025 and ninth this time around. He was terribly short-stacked when he made his final play, getting his last four big blinds in with king-nine and losing to the pocket tens in Max Sinclair's hand.
An hour after McCairns' demise, Mark Johnston moved all-in for around 10 big blinds with ace-seven and ultimately found himself up against the pocket kings of McMullan after he woke up with the powerhouse hand in the big blind. A ten-high board kept the kings as the best hand, and sent Johnston to the rail in eighth place.
Abdul Mukit, who won the £1,000 High Roller at the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow festival, busted in seventh. Mukit was down to five big blinds when he raised 4.5 of them with jack-ten. Oliver Hutchins called with pocket queens before setting Mukit all-in on an ace-king-deuce all-club flop. Mukit called, but the turn and river bricked, and he was gone.
Sixth place and a career-best £2,650 went to Sinclair after a clash with McMullan didn't go to plan. McMullan min-raised to 400,000 with queen-six on the button before calling the 900,000 shove from Sinclair, made with ace-jack. A queen on the river sealed Sinclair's fate.
Sinclair's seat hadn't had the chance to go cold before the legendary Joe Beevers, PartyPoker Tour Ambassador, joined the ever-growing list of final casualties. Beevers got his chips in good, three-betting all-in for 12 big blinds with ace-ten of diamonds after McMullan opened with ace-eight of hearts. An eight on the flop propelled McMullan into the lead, but the turn gave Beevers a flush draw. An offsuit nine on the river vaporized Beevers' stack, and the Mini Main Event was down to its final four hopefuls.
Those three became two when Callum Wallace's deep run ended. McMullan shoved on the button and Wallace called off his 11 big blinds. It was king-queen for Wallace and ace-three of diamonds for McMullan. An ace and two diamonds on the flop left Wallace drawing thin, with another ace on the turn leaving him drawing dead.
The final three butted heads for a while, resulting in there being little difference between their stacks. They struck a deal that locked in at least £10,000 each, and which left £3,000 and the trophy to play for.
A battle of the blinds finished with Welch handing over his stack. McMullan raised to 1,100,000 from the small blind during the 200,000/400,000 level and called when Welch three-bet all-in for 5,400,000. McMullan turned over king-six, which needed help against Welch's ace-four. Help arrived with a six on the turn, which proved enough to send the tournament into the heads-up stage.
McMullan held a two-to-one chip lead over Hutchins at the start of heads-up play. He extended his lead during the early confrontations before helping himself to all of the chips in play.
The final hand saw Hutchins all-in and at risk for a shade over 15.5 big blinds while holding ace-deuce. McMullan called with jack-nine of hearts. An ace-queen-four flop looked set to give Hutchins a timely double. However, an eight on the turn followed by a ten on the river gifted McMullan a straight, the title, and £13,200 in prize money.
