The Alea Casino in Glasgow was packed to the rafters on August 4, as players attempted to secure their place in Day 2 of the Mini Main Event, with two starting flights taking place.
With the final starting flight underway, at present a total of 84 players have qualified from 562 entries, with Day 2 scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. on August 5.
The final figures will be a record-breaker for a Mini Main Event in Glasgow, with the tallies reflecting an almost 40% increase in attendance on 2025.
They are led by David Doherty (908,000), who holds a decent lead over Irish Open final tablist Mark Johnstone (787,000) and Brian Etheridge (717,000), with the prize pool currently standing at £78,875. Oliver Hutchins (417,000) is also well placed to bag yet another PartyPoker Tour trophy.
