2025 Beer Poker Tour London September

All four starting-day flights for the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5 have now concluded, and the dealers are now preparing the decks for Day 2. All 14 players that have made it through are all guaranteed a £190 min-cash, and they’re competing for a £3,720 first-place prize.

Below is the initial seat draw and chip counts.

Day 3 of the 2025 Beer Poker Tour (September Edition) has come to an end. In terms of pure scheduling, this was the busiest day of the event so far, as it featured five tournaments on the schedule.

The poker.pro live coverage team focused mostly on Day 1b of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5 event. This was expected to be one of the softer flights, considering it was scheduled to commence at noon on a Wednesday. That being said, there were some thrilling moments, and all contestants seemed to have a good time. Then again, how can you not enjoy yourself playing some PLO4/5 at the Beer Poker Tour?

Late registration closed around 16:30. The flight attracted 22 entries, which meant that £2,774 was collected towards the prize pool. In comparison, Tuesday’s 1a flight scored 25 entries, which culminated in £3,153. Three players from Day 1b secured their Day 2 participation.

The last starting-day flight of the tournament, Day 1d, is scheduled to start tomorrow, September 4, at 12:00. This is a turbo flight with 15-minute levels, instead of the 30-minute long ones we’ve grown accustomed to during these two days.

The poker.pro PLO4/5 wasn’t the only exciting thing during today, however, as it was also the first flight of the £185 Main Event. The tournament kicked off at 18:30, and when it concluded, nine players had secured their Day 2 advancements. The poker.pro live coverage team will return with more in-depth numbers from the first Main Event flight.

That’s a wrap for tonight, and the live coverage will commence tomorrow around 17:30, when Day 2 of the poker.pro PLO starts.

Since Day 1b of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5 now is finished, the live coverage team will switch focus. Regular chip counts from Day 1c of the poker.pro PLO4/5, as well as from Day 1a of the £185 Main Event, will be shared, as well as some other highlights.

The live reporter Christoffer Karlén and the legendary poker host Glenn Brown will also record some video footage from Genting Casino Stratford, which will be published here as well.

In other words, while the frequency of updates may be a little bit slower for the rest of today, make sure to tune into the live blog now and then to take part of the most important happenings.

The Day 1b flight of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5 recently concluded, with the following three players bagging their chips for Day 2.

The eight remaining players are now on the second 15-minute break of the day. Level 8 is done and busted, meaning late registration will be closed after this break. When the players return, they’ll be greeted with Level 9, featuring Blinds 1,500/3,000.

Below is the current seat draw and chip counts.

“Mr. X” limped UTG. Gang Wang (Hi-jack), “Mr. Y” (Cut-off), and Michael Dunleavy (Button) also called, before James Parker made it 5,600 from the Small Blind. Mr. X made the call, before Wang announced “pot” for 24,600. Everyone folded except for Parker, who made the call, leaving himself with 6,800 behind.

Parker committed his last chips on the Q♠K♦6♣ flop. As expected, Wang made the call.

James Parker: K♣10♦10♠9♠8♣
Gang Wang: A♠A♥K♥9♦2♣

Wang was ahead with a pair of aces, and as he improved to a set on the 4♦A♣ runout, he sent Parker to the rail.

Gang Wang: 192,000
James Parker: 0

The poker.pro reporter joined the action when the flop read Q♥2♣7♣ with roughly 40,000 in the middle. Gang Wang and “Mr. X” both checked to Michael Dunleavy, who moved all in for 28,000. After utilizing a timebank-chip, Wang made the call, and so did Mr. X.

Wang then bet 45,000 on the 3♠ turn, enough to make Mr. X fold. As such, Wang and Dunleavy turned over their hole cards.

Michael Dunleavy: Q♦Q♠K♠9♥J♣
Gang Wang: J♦A♠7♦7♠4♣

Dunleavy was ahead with a set of queens, and wang didn’t improve on the 8♥ river. “Nice hand,” he graciously saluted Dunleavy.

Michael Dunleavy: 124,000
Gang Wang: 76,000

The first four 30-minute levels have passed, and it’s time for the 10 players currently in the tournament to go on the first break of the day. When they return in 15 minutes, they’ll commence play on Level 5, which features Blinds 500/1,000. Below are the chip counts at the first break.

While there’s still five days of Beer Poker Tour fun in front of us, the dates for the next Beer Poker Tour event have already been announced.

The fifth edition of the Beer Poker Tour will be held at Genting Casino Stratford (the same venue as the current one) between October 13 and 19. The tour’s founders, Merivan Hassan and Guillaume Diaz, are already excited for the upcoming event. In fact, they’re already giving away one free buy-in to the October event.

In order to enter the giveaway, players must “join the Beer Poker Club”, which they can do by clicking here.

The Beer Poker Tour strives to be unique in every way possible. One example is the very creative trophies; they’re all beer-related in one way or another, and you won’t find anything similar on any other live poker tour.

This is the fourth poker.pro PLO tournament. It’s the second one in conjunction with the Beer Poker Tour; the other two were conducted during PartyPoker Tour events.

Cards are in the air for Day 1b of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5. From the get-go, six players are in the mix.

Today’s coverage in form of written live updates will mainly focus on Day 1b. However, there will be some video coverage from Day 1a of the £185 Main Event in form of short reels etc.

The chip counts from the poker.pro PLO4/5 Day 1b and 1c will be shared as soon as possible, as is the case with today’s Main Event flight. The results from the already finished side events will soon be published under the “Results” tab (the “Results” tab will be updated continuously throughout the week).

Rise and shine, London! Welcome to Day 3 of the Beer Poker Tour. It’s destined to be yet another sublime day at Genting Casino Stratford during what has to be one of the most enjoyable live poker events in the whole world.

In terms of live coverage, poker.pro will provide updates from Day 1b and 1c of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5, but Day 1a of the £185 Main Event will also receive its fair share of attention.

Day 1a of the poker.pro PLO4/5 was played yesterday; out of the total 25 entries, four players bagged their chips for Day 2, and £3,153 was collected to the prize pool. Out of the four survivors, Jacques Arama was the one who managed to bag the biggest stack.

The Main Event has its first flight today, and it’s expected to be an entertaining affair. The tournament will kick off at 18:30; late registration will be open during the first 12 levels (each level will be 30 minutes long).

Beer Poker Tour – September 2 Schedule

Today’s live coverage will kick off in the afternoon, and the whole poker.pro team is beyond excited for yet another day of kicks and thrills.

It was around 13:30 when poker host Glenn Brown picked up the poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén at Gatwick airport today, September 2. After a splendid luncheon, they got back in the car and drove off to Genting Casino Stratford, London. The duo was excited, steering the ship towards the Beer Poker Tour.

This particular edition of the Beer Poker Tour started yesterday, September 1, with the €130 Happy Hour NLH. It was a cozy start to what definitely is one of the most fun and relaxing live poker events in the world.

However, the poker.pro live coverage would start today, on Tuesday. The whole team at poker.pro are thrilled to have the self-branded event that is the €150 poker.pro PLO4/5 on the Beer Poker Tour scheduled, and Tuesday’s schedule featured the first out of four starting-day flights.

The turnout was expected to be somewhat on the lighter side, considering the tournament commenced at 17:30 on a weekday. Nevertheless, when late registration closed after the first eight 30-minute levels, 25 entries had been made in the tournament, meaning €3,153 had been contributed to the prize pool. Sam Acheampong and JJ Hazan were two of the more familiar names in the mix, but neither was alive when late registration closed. Instead, they decided to late-register for the €130 Happy Hour NLH PKO.

For all starting-day flights of the poker.pro PLO4/5, 13 % of the field will move on to Day 2 (and by doing so, be in the money). Considering Day 1a scored 25 entries, four lucky contestants would eventually advance. Play went on, and not too long after midnight, “Mr. X” was eliminated in fifth place, which meant the four following players all received a bag for Day 2.

Tomorrow, poker.pro will cover Day 1b and 1c of the poker.pro PLO4/5, but also Day 1a of the £185 Main Event. The live coverage will kick off in the afternoon.

It became evident during this day how much the players appreciate the relaxed yet exciting atmosphere that the Beer Poker Tour offers, and if the following days are anything like what we’ve experienced today, all visitors are in for a treat.

First to act, Anthony Roberts decided to limp from UTG. The table shortstack, “Mr. X,” then moved all in for 28,000 after relieving a heavy sigh. Jacques Arama made the call from the Button. Then, there was a delay in the game; the dealer got the impression that Arama and Roberts were urging the other players to call, and then check it down. The floor arrived to the table, cleared out any misunderstandings, and play proceeded.

Mr. X rose from his chair as the dealer revealed the 9♠K♥Q♦ flop. Arama check-called a 8,000 bet from Roberts, which brought the 7♣ turn. The pattern was once again check-bet-call, and Mr. X again sighed heavily. Action went check-check on the A♣ river.

Mr. X: A♥2♥J♦6♦2♦
Anthony Roberts: A♠6♠6♣4♣5♥
Jacques Arama: K♣K♦10♥4♥9♣

Mr. X’s gut feeling was right; he became the unfortunate bubble boy, as the remaining four players bagged their chips.

Jacques Arama: 499,000
Anthony Roberts: 363,000
Mr. X: 0

The Beer Poker Tour is the live poker tour that puts the player in focus, emphazising on not only having fun at the poker tables. During tournament breaks and/or between sessions, players can enjoy free food and drinks, play entertaining, intriguing games, and much more. The Beer Poker Tour trophies are also unique, something that enhances the experience even further.

This “September Edition” of the Beer Poker Tour is the fourth-ever event. The first one was held back in November 2024, when Jonathan Condron won the €120 Main Event, which was a one-day event.

With that the Beer Poker Tour was born, and it’s growing bigger and better by every event. The next event was the first one on Brittish ground, as Genting Casino Stratford (formerly known as Aspers) hosted the second edition at the end of February this year.

The relationship between Genting Casino Stratford and the Beer Poker Tour is a fruitful one; counting this ongoing event, three out of the four events have all been hosted at this beautiful venue. The two masterminds behind the tour – Merivan Hassan and Guillaume Diaz – are going to great lengths to create the live poker experience of a life time for all players. They’re thinking outside the box, and no doubt, the Beer Poker Tour will continue to expand.

The 11 remaining players are enjoying their second break of the day. They are set to return to Level 9, featuring Blinds 1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 Ante. When the break is over, late registration will be closed.

Below are the current chip counts.

Ben Jordan opened to 5,000 from UTG+1. Seated on the Button, Jacques Arama announced pot to 20,000. The players in the Blinds folded, before Jordan made the call.

Jordan checked the K♦4♥K♠ flop, before Arama forced his opponent all in for 27,000. Jordan made the call.

Jacques Arama: A♠A♥6♥6♠10♦
Ben Jordan: K♥8♥J♦J♣7♣

Jordan was ahead, and on the course for a full double-up. “Come on,” he sighed as the dealer turned over the A♦ on the turn. He stood up and turned his back to the table, preparing for his exit, but as the table shouted “whoah,” he turned around. The poker Gods had awarded Jordan with the K♣ on the river, and after winning the pot with quads, he’s very much still in the mix.

Jacques Arama: 206,000
Ben Jordan: 110,000

Ben Jordan opened to 2,500 from the Button. Seated in the Big Blind, big-stack Bodo Wagner made the call.

Wagner check-called a 4,000 bet from Jordan on the Q♠10♠10♣ flop. Both players then checked the 8♦ turn. On the 8♠ river, Wagner now took over the aggression and fired a 6,000 bet. After perhaps five seconds worth of consideration, Jordan made the call.

Wagner turned over 10♦8♥K♦3♣ for a full house, and Jordan mucked his hand.

Bodo Wagner: 252,000
Ben Jordan: 6,000

The 10 players currently in Day 1a of the €150 poker.pro PLO4/5 are now on the first 10-minute of the break. Below are the full chip counts.

The players keep on comin’ in Day 1a of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5. Some of the noteworthy names so far are:

• William Mawer, winner of the €350 8-Game Championship during the 2025 Irish Poker Open.
• JJ Hazan, UK poker legend.
• Sam Acheampong, one of the ambassadors for the 2025 PartyPoker Tour.

The poker.pro duo Glenn Brown and Christoffer Karlén have officially arrived at Genting Casino Stratford, London, for the Beer Poker Tour. The cards will be flying and the beers will be fizzing all week; it’ll be six days of electrifying action.

The coverage starts off with Day 1a of the £150 poker.pro PLO4/5. As of right now, 10 players are in the first flight; there will be four starting-day flights in total before the final Day 2 on September 4.
